I live in a Third World country.
My first computer, purchased in 2010, still supports the bitcoin chain. And it would even with x2 blocks. Today I have a second computer, bought in 2016, that would easily support 4MB block for a few more years.
And it is to be expected in the next 5 years, the capacity and rapidity of hardware will increase exponentially.
So fucking what. Who gives a ratt's ass? If there is no need to upgrade to 2x, then why upgrade merely because a bunch of whiners and saboteurs think that it is necessary, when there is no fucking technical issue at the moment and unlikely to have any technical issue for a few years, especially with the upcoming activation of seg wit.
