My view on block size issue and how it affects BTC vs BCH vs Mernero. Mernero is technically the more "just" solution, but such a thing might not actually be beneficial if there is greater gain to be had by special interest groups backing the monopoly:

What special interest groups neglected to tell you about the block size issue:

From an economics point of view, trying to force the entire planet onto a fixed block size with low scaling is a pro-usury extortion stance. Small blocks are a synthetic monopoly. If criminal banks believe they can take control of this monopoly, either through getting a large percent of the transaction validators, or by taking control of all services that facilitate off-chain transactions like Coinbase (or lightning) since on-chain transactions are too expensive to use, then the criminal banks would likely support small blocks over large ones.

The solution to the problem is not 1 MB or 8 MB blocks. Any system with a fixed block size is going to inherently be a pro-usury extortion scheme due to synthetic monopoly. You would need to use a dynamic, scaling block size like Monero to fix that.

Is there a reason why you just posted the obvious in a thread that's topic is not even remotely associated with the matter you are commenting on? And why do you always quote yourself.

r0ach is correct. ...

Why quote me? I did not say he was incorrect, I said he was pointing out the obvious (at least to us in this thread) and that this discussion should be in a different topic. Either way if you want to elaborate on his statement (which by the way came in response to nothing I saw) then by all means do it but not in a means in which you quote me as if correcting me.
