I refuse to upgrade just because Gavin says it should be so. Let the actual market decide, in terms of fees and such. I detest centralized decision making - and frankly have some suspicions about Gavin ever since he caved in to meet with the CIA.

I do kind of agree with you. I am in favor of the proposal Gavin & Hearn is pitching. But, Hearn's history, especially the claim to ignore the longest chain makes me suspicious about his future plan. It might be the case that he is winning the public support by backing a popular demand, but in future he might take the lead to kill the founding pillars of bitcoin, like ignoring the longest chain.

It'd have been way better if the core devs could agree at some point and raised the block size a little, because we need to know how decentralized the lightning.network is... as well.

I hope you read that and maybe you have also seen Hearn at Epicenter where he said.If so you should know better what actually said.

I checked that video again and again to my utter disbelief to what I'm listening. But, no. Hearn actually said that. He is no one to decide the economic majority. If economic majority is against that would naturally push the miners to change their side. Why would he checkpoint them ? That is out & out dictatorship.

Are you implying Mike will force a gun to "economic majority" to enforce his new rules?

If you are, then you're as dumb as a door knob.
