I don't really know where else to go from that.. 1MB will seem like 1KB soon enough. What do..

Agreed, we have been sitting at 1MB for way too long already and it's holding bitcoin back by a lot.
We are years behind because of it, and altcoins will overtake bitcoin if we keep the 1MB bitcoin for a while longer.

THIS.

And in order to keep things simple and blockchain not bloated, a simple increase to 2MB would be good. Right now transaction fees would be just about right, but if they go much higher Bitcoin gets hurt.

this is benefiting miners, they have been earning more money because of the increasing amount of fess. and guess what they have been the ones holding back on adopting any solution for block size (segwit or any other things).
