He's got some weird ideas. His ongoing idea that schoolkids will each have their own currency has me scratching my head somewhat.
I'd say the blocksize thing is probably the least trivial issue out there. I can see why they're playing it so safe but they're not inspiring outside observers. I'm sure no one wants it to be that way but any alt that did supersede BTC would have the exact same issue.
If an alt did pop up I'd want to see years and years of solidity before even dreaming of putting my trust into it. A fork is nothing when the coin's whole purpose is playtime on Cryptsy. It becomes serious shit if there's actual commerce involved.
A lot of features can happen with layers. The integrity of the blockchain will always be paramount.
I agree that rigidity of core is important if serious money are involved. Hovewer, flexibility is an equally important. It seems that sidechains let us to combine these incompartible requirements. I just hope the sidechains will be integrated to the bitcoin core before it hardens completely. I'd say the blocksize thing is probably the least trivial issue out there.
