The question is: When will Bitcoin increase its block size? In the original proposal for Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto did mention that the block size should increase but he did not suggest a timetable. This has divide the community into two camps. Those who think Bitcoin is a monopoly and its users can be squeezed for higher transactions fees. And those who think Bitcoin should keep its popularity. In the long run, it won't matter since Bitcoin has planned obsolescence and will lose it popularity no matter what.
it can happen at any time i think. it can take a few months at best, or even longer than a year at worst. i also want to see them hurry with increasing the block size to 2 mb, but i don't want the core devs to make mistakes when they are rushing to please the community. i prefer it to take a little longer and that all goes according to plan instead of a failing fork that may cause severe damage to bitcoin.
