Yes it has to happen soon, do you remember how I said there could be a spike of adoption due to global events and this is why we should increase the blocksize before this happens. Well it has happened, capital controls in china combined with favorable rulings in the EU have created the perfect storm. The blocks are now becoming consistently full and if we do not increase the blocksize soon, transactions will be rendered unreliable. This would not be a good experience for all of the new people that are now joining our community.
