11. Many people, most non-technical, clamor for the block size limit to be lifted.
12. Fees reach an equilibrium where they remain stable.
13. Spurred by the profitability of Bitcoin transactions, alternate chains appear to capture the users that Bitcoin lost.
14. Pleased with their profitability, miners refuse to accept any hard fork to block size.

11. News articles start appearing in the media pointing our the 7 tps hard transaction limit as a fatal flaw in Bitcoin.
12. At best, fees never exceed 1/10 to 1/5 the block subsidy.
13. Businesses investment drastically slows with regards to all forms of distributed cryptocurrency and more capital is directed towards centralized solutions.
14. Miners realize they killed the goose that laid the golden egg.

Compare the following case:
1. News articles start appearing in the media pointing 7tps hard transaction limit of bitcoin blockchain
2. News articles start appearing in the media pointing a hard fork happened inside bitcoin which created two different bitcoin network: Bitcoin legacy and Bitcoin 2.0, and there will be 3 types of coin: Pre-fork coin, after-fork coin 2.0 and after-fork coin legacy. And possibly in the future there will be another new type of coin together with another fork... with each fork another 11 million of coin were created immediately

Which one do you think will more likely to cause people abandon bitcoin Wink
