Re: Estranged Core Developer Gavin Andresen Finally Makes Sensible 2MB BIP Proposal!
If that is true, then Bitcoin is doomed.
I still believe in the original vision of Bitcoin, however no matter what happens to Bitcoin the cryptocurrency revolution will live on. If Bitcoin did have a fundamental flaw, then I am sure at least one of the altcoins has already solved it. 
The next stage will be to add video clips and facebook discussions. The odd coin transfer will have to fit in where it can, and compete withhigh price obituaries.
It would be very impractical, expensive and inefficient to do that. If people did choose to pay for that who are we to say that they should not. It is a permissionless network after all.
