(Matonis is clueless to claim there is a fee-market - though my estimation of him is now down to zero as he talks about monkeying with the 21M limit).
+KB blocks now.

his whole thesis is, "ZOMG, if we yield on the block size limit, it's a foregone conclusion we'll get a supply increase!"

furtheremore, listening to him dissemble over the technicalities of the block size limit is painful to listen to.  as little understanding as iCEBlow.

...says the hobbyist who frequently argues unsuccessfully with core devs about how Bitcoin works under the hood.

Matonis' point is that abandoning reason and giving into the mob mentality, whether the issue is larger blocks or higher emission, leads to disaster.

It's like the time Marge opposed the Springfield Monorail, only to be overruled by the giddy crowd of rubes.

Of course fixing Main Street isn't as glamorous as an impressively larger blocksize or emission, but it's the responsible thing to do.   Smiley
