2 MB block size brings nothing.

This is strange answer coming from a bitcointalk.org staff member. But you are the same person that said Satoshi's vision is irrelevant? Funny how well now I can remember you and your ways.

I thought 2MB blocksize would mean keeping Satoshi's protocol intact, whilst relieving full blocks, quelling the current international dispute, and at the same time leaving open the possibility for SegWit, and other Blockstream corporate-sponsored programs.

yep 2mb rule allows real capacity buffer increase, ready for when miners are ready to expand

1mb segwit is temporary bait and switch of capacity increase(if they gain consensus instantly).. and then shortly after that, re-bloating up the 'saved' dataspace with Confidential transaction data (estimated at 250bytes per tx)

if they dont get consensus to allow miners to start churning out the new blocktype, then confidential transactions will fill up transaction data before people even see any benefit of segwits capacity adjustments.

its just easier and better to have the 2mb block limit set, and used as a buffer while miners continue making <1mb blocks .. that way when miners decide to move forward the community is ready.. rather than refusing to increase the buffer and creating chaos if the miners move before the community is ready

side-note
funny how icebreaker is arguing the politics of anything not blockR3am. but if anyone mentions the politics of blocksR3am, he defends them to the death and tells people not to talk about blockstR3am politics

tim swanson and Raja Ramachandran of R3.. at a PwC(blockstream) conference all talking about bitcoin
