The ONLY way to learn Bitcoin in general and blocksize wars in particular is to personally study its inner workings. Not reading/watching other people's opinionated propaganda/conspiracy theories. But to study those inner workings takes a lot of time and hard work. I went through three Chaincode seminars to form my skills and opinions. In short: "there is no second best". Bitcoin base layer is perfect as is, and all the scaling and privacy features can be done on layer 2. All other blockchains are scams to enrich the founders.
About Blockstream/Bilderberg I heard for the first time from you today, and quick googling got me this explanation, which makes sense: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WNH4kwXNvY0
It is no secret that VC-funded Lightning Labs, Blockstream and many others are trying to make money from building Bitcoin layer 2 infrastructure. But they do so openly as FOSS projects, and the code they produce is free for all to run and modify. The incentive is there to collaborate on some aspects and compete on others, to make Bitcoin better for all.
One example is our project taking advantage of Boltz open source code.
