I get this feeling some people against the blocksize increase think that 7 transactions a second is fine and Bitcoin will be like gold and it'll be this massive store of wealth. Well if millions of people can't move their wealth around your Bitcoins will be worthless, no matter how many thousands you have.
Do people trading Gold need more than 7 tx's per second?
(i.e. do you think Bitcoin would really *die* if that was the limit?)
