Yes.
Otherwise growth in Bitcoin is essentially capped and will move to other currencies. Speculators will also move on and the price will dip temporarily. This could possibly cause some spiraling issues... lower growth, lower price, higher fees, halved block reward. Bitcoin could lose their first mover and networking effect advantages in that type of situation.
A 2 MB block size limit does not solve anything. Please don't post nonsense.
1. Id just rather the blocksize increase sooner rather than later. 2. It seems that bitcoin has been crippled this last while. 3. Certainly doesnt look good to anyone new to bitcoin.
1) Your opinion is based on emotion not technical knowledge.
2) Bitcoin is not crippled and is working fine.
3) Stop reading media that tries to spread lies and FUD.
