The real competition is the thousand altcoins that offer cheaper fees if the mining community has its way.

Do you not realize that the huge increase in fees we're seeing is entirely because of the 1MB blocksize? When blocks weren't full you could get away with zero fee.

BU wants to RAISE the blocksize.

Core are the ones who have refused to raise it for the very purpose of making money with fees...It was their business model the whole time...they even admit that tacitly now on their home page.

please wake up.

And if BU would give up their obstructionism we could have had Segwit months ago, and LN implementations coming soon that anyone can implement (leading to great competition and low fees). Both sides can whine the other side is to blame. But I keep looking (seriously) for evidence that the BU team has a competent plan and roadmap, something beyond a lot of shrieking that Core is the devil (and darned little else), and I am not finding it. So help me out - why should any honest, basically neutral person with some knowledge of bitcoin take BU seriously at this point?
