we're not even under attack yet blocks continue to fill up:
Unbelievable! It's almost as if subsidizing spam/noise transactions creates more of them.

We need 20MB++ blocks ASAP, because God forbid it costs more than a penny to use Bitcoin's seemingly magical, unprecedentedly powerful settlement system (which is based on the most secure and well distributed database in history).
Why should any of the exorbitant expense of running nodes and miners be passed on to consumers? After all, growth at all costs is more important than closing loops and weaning the network off block rewards.
Bitcoin is like a shark; it must keep moving or die. As with Uber, it must stay two steps ahead of the regulators.
Oh, wait:
