Has it not been made clear enough that they stand to lose absolutely nothing by increasing the block size?
There are days that Adam on twitter is saying that if blocks need to be bigger it needs to be done as
slow as possible to give space to the develop of the lightning network technology (so paying his salary)
https://twitter.com/adam3us/status/633157354515664896@joe_ekine a sensible & safe proposal. my money's on flexcap or pragmatic 2MB step then 4, 8MB over 4 years to have space for lightning r&d
Well obviously you can try to spin Adam's word to support your own agenda here but what he says is clearly : let's increase block size so that we have room before Lightning is ready.
So essentially he supports block size increase... I'm sorry your point was?
