Segwit is not ready now, this statement is true. You are attempting to twist the truth. I do not think we should bet the future of Bitcoin on unfinished technology.
Neither is 2 MB. Do we have experience with that? No. Nobody is betting any future on anything; Bitcoin works regardless of the block size.

If that was true, Core could increase the blocksize limit to two megabytes now, and resolve this entire debate. Instead of expecting us to "trust" them to do it at a unspecified time, while at the same time realizing they have a conflict of interest to keep the blocksize small and have a strong ideology to not increase the blocksize, contrary to Satoshi's vision.
Satoshi's vision is irrelevant. Why would they do that? There isn't enough consensus for 2 MB.

Yes that is how Bitcoin works. It might seem counter intuitive from an engineering perspective, but from the perspective of freedom and decentralization it is great.
This has nothing do to with decentralization and will end up centralizing Bitcoin which is obviously one of the underlying goals behind both BU and Classic.


Brain washed? Bitcoin Core approves SegWit blocks up to 4 MB are ok and no problem for decentralization. Gosh, SegWit is not magic here, and  Bitcoin Core supporting up to 4 MB SegWit blocks invalidate every one of your argument here...
