I know why MP doesn't want the change, he's made it perfectly clear. I don't agree with him, but it's his opinion so I respect that. We just want different things out of bitcoin.

afaik he (over-)invested in a bitcoin device which would not be able to handle bigger blocks? did you hear sth else?

More simple, he posted on his blog. details here In summary, he believes bitcoin is something that only the wealthy should want/need to use and that it isn't meant to be for everyone. Hence why he sees no need for the change.

I believe bitcoin is new money, and for it to work as such then every transaction ever goes on the blockchain. Which is why I think we do need the update.

ok, thanks
