Are people really trying to re-ignite the blocksize debate in the HN comments section? This battle was waged, every conceivable argument on both sides was made. Small blocks with lightning to scale won, and the big blockers forked into arguably less successful coins like Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV. Time for everyone to move on.

"Small blocks with lightning to scale won" Nope, LN is not P2P Electronic Cash.

Bitcoin Core protocol kept the Bitcoin branding and continues censorship.

Bitcoin Cash protocol is being actively developed and has a scaling roadmap https://www.bitcoincash.org/roadmap.html

Bitcoin SV was another centralized attack(from nChain+CSW) on BCH.

While both BTC & BSV are centrally developed and managed, BCH has decentralized development with multiple implementations. Bitcoin has a long journey ahead, we are still handing out large miner rewards, we can check back in 3 more halvings by 2028 and see how things unfold.
