Bitcoin network will not need the extra capacity of Bitcoin Unlimited as users began migration to other coins, cheaper to transact networks, you know their names.
Please name me a single viable alternative. By viable I mean the following:
1) Doesn't have an instamine / isn't a scam. (See Dash)
2) Isn't highly centralized / doesn't have a high king. (see Ethereum)
3) Doesn't have even worse scalability issues than Bitcoin. (see Monero)

Please indulge me.

Just goes to show how many people on Bitcointalk are actually running full nodes.
I'd say that the number is very low. A lot of people call themselves "Bitcoin enthusiasts", but they don't even have a single node running.
