They want full blocks and a fee market because the block subsidies are diminishing.
We'll only be mining 112.5 new bitcoins a day in the year 2036, so obviously that's more
important than making sure the network runs smoothly today.
We don't want to attract as many users as possible so that by the time fees become
important, there will be massive transaction volume. Instead, its surely better to just make fees expensive now
(doesn't matter if the competition has cheap fees).. because we need to establish
this fee market, you see... and get people used to high bitcoin fees.
in the future we'll be able to get more users or just jack up the fees even more.
There are just too much good coins these days and are very innovative than BTC.
BTC however still may continue to be the number one because of its adoption, everybody knew about BTC and all these people probably never heard of Dash or ETH which is only familiar to people in the cryptoworld like us. I have been here in the forum for years and I don't hear anything about Santiment actually which ICONOMI had invested. Certainly BTC is on the losing side, they have to do something to save it or we lose satoshi.
The above two quotes are the conclusion (including the sarcasm) that one comes to when one doesn't know anything about what gives money value, which is not at all a raised transaction capacity.
These are two posters that don't know anything about economics or money theory that are continually posting looney tune character style remarks, pretending to address people (core devs) who aren't here, and have no intention of addressing such baseless and ignorant conclusions.
Money doesn't work like this^
Dash and Eth can NEVER provide what bitcoin provides as a money, and that's why bitcoin's market cap far exceeds them combined, and always will. Eth and dash would break if they had bitcoin's cap, that's why the market hasn't put such much into these breakeable coins.
