I'm still not sure which team to support. "big blockers" or "small blockers".
Still waiting on the team mascots to decide which is better.

Don't bother, this whole argument is just a sham after all...

So I read that and it has lots of words but basically says nothing. It claims some type of Alex Jones' style "false left/right paradigm", then doesn't even describe a legit pathway forward or how each side is blocking that from occurring. IMO, Bitcoin will need to scale to at least 8-10MB blocks even with a Lightning Network because the masses have to retain access to the main chain for it to function.
Its an irrelevant op-ed from someone who now finds himself in a no-mans-land of trying to defend a position (do nothing) that nobody is interested in.
I've always wondered if this position, which is quite common in Bitcoin, is an expression of some kind of conformist cowardice or a genuinely delusional point of view. The guy in the article seems to assume intention where there is none.
