All I'm trying to say is that no one will be able to know what the full effect will be down the road. It's still all very experimental, and to say that Classic is the only proposal that will ever be needed from here on out is not very smart. I know that the 2 MB proposal is a "kick the can down the road" approach, nor am I saying that I support that... I just know that as more blocks continue to max out, and confirmation times continually slow down as more people are using bitcoins; the worse it is for bitcoin.
I really wasn't trying to argue necessarily about the block size debate itself... I was just trying to get my point across that governance of Bitcoin is progressively getting more sketchy to me and
seems to become more centralized. I know that word pisses off a lot of people and I'm not necessarily saying that it is full out centralized just yet... but you can't doubt that it has slowly but surely gotten to be that way.
I just don't necessarily like when people say that "X" is the only way to go and there is no other alternative because that is just the way it is. Even though this problem doesn't seem like much right now, the more people start using bitcoin, the bigger this problem becomes... so it's better to fix it now... am I not right?
