That does not compute. I have just read that the 1MB maxblocksize was added as an anti spam measure. We all know that the flooding of the mempool is because some group is spamming the network, so if we hard fork to an 32MB maxblocksize and some other group is not happy and decide to spam the network that will lead to more blockchain bloat.
It would become pretty expensive to bloat a blockchain that had 32mb blocks. Let's say a transaction is 0.5 kb, that's 2048 x 32 = 65,536 transactions per block. At a nickel a transaction, that would be $3276.80. That's just for one block. That's $19,660.80 an hour, and $471,859.20 a day.
