Is Bitcoin broken, really? Or, is it just its governance that is broken? Could the argument be solved by something as easy as a coin flip or roe-sham-bo? Or, will some form of parliamentary structure do the trick? These are probably the more significant issues affecting Bitcoin that need to be resolved than block size and forks, in my opinion. If the community is broken, then Bitcoin is broken....
We still have about 6 months to solve this problem if there is further development of side chains, which can be used to alleviate the pressure on the main chain.
