Nice summary, but maybe you noticed that Gavin constantly change his proposal based on community feed back, which proved to be a much more efficient way of gaining support.

He's trying to play the game like Andreas Antonopoulos. They try to stay neutral & communicate more due to the fear of the uncertain; later on whatever happens they've supported it.

We decided, it should be done like this, because we are the expert and you should listen to us and respect our hard work. This is not a way to reach consensus in a community full of paranoid conspiracists Grin

It's exactly this kind of people most attracted by bitcoin because they trust nobody by default

The majority is wrong in the most cases. Should we let the majority decide these things? Bitcoin is not a democracy either.

Price has already almost fully recovered from that. Those were just speculators that thought the market would respond much stronger to this proposal.

It shows that the market dislikes the situation. I'm pretty sure that there are going to be huge sell-offs if a political forks succeeds.

Another power grab from a desperate developer that might just work, if he play the fiddle in the right manner.

That's all there is to it, under the premise that 'SegWit is complex & urgent capacity increase needed'. .
