+I know full well who works for Blockstream and I know you're not one of
+those folks. The Blockstream core devs are very vocal against a reasonable
+blocksize increase (17% growth per year in Pieter's BIP is not what I
+consider reasonable because it doesn't come close to keeping with
+technological increases). I think we can both agree that more on-chain
+space means less demand for lightning, and vice versa, which is a blatant
+conflict of interest.
+
+I'm also trying to figure out how things like lightning are not competing
+directly with miners for fees. More off-chain transactions means less
+blockchain demand, which would lower on-chain fees. I'm not sure what is
+controversial about that statement.
+
+The lightning network concept is actually a brilliant way to take fees away
+from miners without having to make any investment at all in SSH-256 ASIC
+mining hardware.
