Already controversy is brewing... Already businesses are starting to back away from bitcoin because if the block limit isn't raised then one of three things will happen: 1. Bitcoin fails. 2. Bitcoin gets used only for moving large amounts of money and other cryptocurrencies take over eventually displacing bitcoin itself. 3. Bitcoin gets used for only moving large amounts of money and "bitcoin clearing houses" fill the gaps, which increase the risk of fraud/theft/unaccountability, add avenues of attack, and form REAL centralization. Not some hypothetical BS.
"already controversy is brewing" Wonderful zero-evidence hypothetical BS handwaving there. Yes, controversy is brewing... among those teenagers clueless about bitcoin and economics.
Bitcoin value and press reports indicate new bitcoin users and businesses every day. The exact opposite of "back away"
I don't mean to spread doom and gloom. I'm sorry....
You said yourself though in a post a long time ago that it's a marketing issue. And who is most susceptible to that? the clueless .
