Sometimes it needs to get worse before it gets better. A fork would clear the air and it's probably really bad short term but should be good medium/long term if enough miners starts supporting BU.
Segwit is a crappy implementation and relying on the LN vaporware is insanity. As a benefit we could get rid of crazies (you all know who I mean).
I think that if we agree on the idea of making the bitcoin unlimited that will destroy it and make the bitcoin a worthless thing, the only reason people are so interested in bitcoin is because of its high price and that comes from saving it because it is a limited thing so people rush to buying it like there is no tomorrow to try make a profit out of it, and making it unlimited will turn that idea all around.
At first it was the only reason, but it's not the only reason for deciding to leave bitcoin, for BU haters : what you think and what you can give to bitcoin solution in the future?
When blocksize has been completed, bitcoin will become increasingly scarce, higher price, and not everyone will be able to have a lot of bitcoin, but just a substantives small deployment of market interests. BU can be a long-term solution even if the price will go down from now, we need centralization to be accepted in legitimate legal civilization.
