    === Pro-Ver =======
    Tone Vays said "Satoshi wasn't the best coder" to defend the Segwit fork. Tone Vays said he was "fine with $100 fees". Tone Vays said he was "fine with bitcoin only being useful for $100,000 transactions". Roger Ver made many salient points about problems people are experiencing due to full blocks, unconfirmed transactions, and high fees. Censorship was an issue that was clearly in favor of Ver. Tone Vays was unable to support his pro-Segwit stance with anything other than appeals to authority. Roger Ver had an excellent point about the "sunk cost fallacy" regarding the 5000 lines of Segwit code. Ver pointed out that Unlimited's Xthin blocks proposal was copied by Core devs with Compact Blocks. Ver pointed out that Bitcoin has an "underlying economic code" that is just as important as the software code.

    === Pro-Vays ======
    Vays was correct that the core dev team is larger and technically more competent. Vays was correct that a soft fork would be less risky than a hard fork. Vays was reasonable in his reliance on technical experts.


    Neither person is a technical expert, but this was refreshing in that they were able to stay focused on economic issues.
