What on earth is the point of the people that are thinking that we need to suddenly rush into a hard fork in order to make block sizes bigger?

(as this whole topic actually was about this it appears that the Chinese miners don't actually have a clue)

I can speak for myselves only - because Bitcoin Core proved they will stop further Bitcoin adoption effectively from next year without any offchain soutions proved to be working (considering these will popup because still in development). If they had unstopped Bitcoin adoption in mind, they would foresee number of transactions tendency, and hardfork would be planned since middle of previous year to BIP102 to be active in early/mid 2016. They proved to be either incopetent or having bad intentions when stopping future Bitcoin adoption from 2017 because they not gonna discuss hardfork to BIP102 this year and it takes 6+ months for safely deploying hardforks at least thats what they say. Yet 1.5 MB is foresee to be filled in early 2017 and no futher Bitcoin adoption then possible unless undeveloped, untested and unproved to be working offline solutions really works - pretty risky situation for 7 Billion USD Bitcoin market - but what, few commit coders have only millions of USD to risk at most (unless they bet on increased altcoin appreciation where they could have stake) yet they decide about future of 7 Billion USD Bitcoin market
