He is right.

He is actually too soft on Blockstream. He forgot to mention the developers who are not on Blockstream's payroll, but work for it as contractors; and those two that are the CEO and CTO of Viacoin, another company whose chances of success depend strongly on bitcoin becoming even less usable than it is now.

But of course the Chinese day traders and MMM victims do not care about the block size war.  I bet that 99% of them could not name even one bitcoin developer, or explain what a "block" is.
