increasing the blocksize up to the point that our technology will allow so that it does not compromise the principles of decentralization and financial freedom.
We are already well past this point, as many people have stopped running nodes because they couldn't justify the expense and the inconvenience of having their connection seriously burdened.
Now the question is not compromising these principles much more, because past 200KB or so they are already compromised.
Let's not even question this again because it's well known by now.
I disagree and we have discussed this extensively already so maybe we can just agree to disagree.
Obviously I do not support your extremist position that blocks over 200KB are to large. I think that Bitcoin can support much larger blocks without compromising decentralization and financial freedom.
It's not a matter of agreement, a lot of people have stopped running their nodes for these reasons and there is overwhelming evidence of this fact.
We are not conjecturing about whether they will stop or not, this already happens, I know many cases myself and they are all over the place in this forum and reddit.
Ask people who stopped running their nodes why the did they stop.
These are facts to deal with, not to agree or disagree.
