Francis is just another zealot. I'm sure he'd agree with that characterization lol couple things, the block size limit was never meant to be permanent. arguing that big blockers wanted to "change Bitcoin" because they wanted to raise the block size limit is a sneaky reinterpretation of history. Bitcoin was always meant to scale onchain and it is HIS viewpoint that is an extreme change. Not Roger's. also, Francis doesn't understand that governance is a naturally EMERGING process that you can't avoid. pretending like it's just not happening doesn't help anybody. large software projects WILL have a governance system. I understand idealistically wanting zero governance. but that's just idealism, not reality. people like Francis need to come to grips with that. another point Roger is correct about is that there's a clear conflict of interest when core devs throttle throughput on L1 and then create centralized solutions on L2 (ie Liquid). since Francis and Bull Bitcoin *are working with Blockstream*, that conflict of interest now extends to them as well. just to point that out, I don't think Francis is compromised because of financial incentive. I think he's compromised because hes an ideological zealot and untethered to reality. so please excuse me if I l don't take his viewpoint particularly seriously. its easier if you just say " Bitcoin is perfect the way it is and anybody who thinks it should change is an enemy "

Is this the same Francis that via his state licensed BITCOIN BULL company sells KYC fiat loans to BTC maxi hodlers as using Bitcoin? Lol.

okay maybe he's ALSO compromised by financial incentive 😆
