"I still hope that they listen to reason and increase bitcoin’s ability to scale. We are all held hostage by a tiny cabal of developers..."

No... we're not.

There are bitcoin nodes which didn't follow the 1MB block size and "segwit" or "dsv" nonsense .... they just use the protocol rules from the original bitcoin.

To say bitcoin scales just great is an understatement. It scales so well it will consume _everything_

It's not. They will evolve. Anyone can make up protocols like that right now.

Bitcoin (SV) is also going to make blockchains like Ethereum redundant.

Bitcoin can do all the things people typically go to Ethereum for, smart contracts, token, 'on chain computation, etc. Bitcoin can do them even better.

Bitcoin SV is most definitely bitcoin.

It is simply the original bitcoin protocol, ie. with all the stupid things that were added to "BTC" since 2009 removed.

... that makes it infinitely scalable and useful like bitcoin was supposed to be, not just for money, for data storage, and for computation.

No Segwit No RBF No block size limit No limits on scripts or data sizes

BTC is useless in comparison... and the 'ad hominem' will only cover this up for so long.
