Copying this from another thread, since it continues some discussion that started over here:
I don't know why you are compelled to replicate discussions all over the board. Fine. I'll play along by copying my reply:
You are conflating that the fact that the equilibrium is reached inside majority-collusion with your thought that I haven't stated what occurs outside of majority-collusion. But I have stated what happens, which it is always devolves to majority-collusion.
You have stated that, yes. That was my assertion. My point is that this is outcome is not affected by the cap on maxblocksize.
Everyone was incentivized by the fact that once the 1MB limit was reached ... It was the 1MB protocol limit that provided the barrier that everyone had to try to swim far from
Justification of this assertion would require explaining away the almost linear annual doubling of the average block size, up until the saturation point.
