IMO the security budget is important enough that it's never not worth discussing. Transaction fee forecasting is as much haruspicy as price analysis though. His prediction is premised on an inadequate security budget and we simply don't know what the future security budget will be ... even Nic, who I will momentarily grant divine chart reading abilities, cannot predict demand for block space. I find security budget optimism as void of content as security budget pessimism.
My problem with Udi is I can't tell what he actually believes and what's schmäh.
Dude, you just taught me two words in one post. Slow down!
Yup, agreed wrt the budget. And I think Nic would admit that he doesn't know, and that nobody knows. He (and many) just want to fucking be able to discuss it without being accused of heresy and thoughtcrime.
And same wrt Udi. He's a rabble-rouser. I find him frequently annoying. But also necessary.

He would but he's beginning to play the same reverse countershading 😉 game that Udi is.

I think that's a defense mechanism. It's probably troll or die.

That's a great read. I never thought of it that way.
I'd prefer to die - whatever that means in this context.

Probably means just dropping out, either leaving the space or never talking about it. I'd for sure do the latter; maybe dissonance would bring me to the former, too.

I'd say Udi does doxic schmäh haruspicy.
