He is also saying his fork will continue to exist regardless. That's fine, he can use his inconsequential fork as long as he has another node to connect to (even if it is his own). He can also use Open Transactions he is selling as a solution all he likes too.
Except it isn't just me, there are hundreds of users (and owners of bitcoin) like me, who signed on to a system that we thought would have LOWER relative costs to verify in the future. That one day every, even the cheapest computer, could become a full-node.
The thing is that these people don't post on the forums about this change. Because they are not arguing FOR a change. They are quite happy with bitcoin is atm.
They don't even need to be convinced about the change. Their Bitcoin; the current Bitcoin; the real Bitcoin. Will continue to work just fine.
