Lower BTC block size

I was listening to a pod cast with Pierre Rochard & Safidean with Stephan Livera and it was very entertaining. Towards the end Pierre was saying how he think the block size should be greatly lowered (1/2 or 1/4 the current size)...... how can anyone possibly say that right now?? Block rewards are high enough now we shouldn’t have to worry about subsidizing miners to keep the system stable game theory wise...... I’m just so confused on people that don’t even understand they are asking to shoot themselves in the foot........what in the actual fuck....someone please help my understand.

VanitySearch, a new tool to create customized BTC SegWit addresses

Maybe you know about VanityGen, where you can create customized vanity BTC addresses containing a defined prefix such like 1miau7hDJ456....

That's very nice but VanityGen is doing that only with legacy addresses where fees are higher compared to SegWit.

As a result, a nice dev has created VanitySearch where it's also possible to create vanity addresses from nested (prefix 3...) and native SegWit (prefix bc1q...). And it's much faster that VanityGen.
