In my mind this is quite sad.
I think it is obvious that we need to upgrade, a smooth upgrade for our community. BTC would grow with smaller fees, it would get bigger recognition as payment not just as investment.
But the issue here is that the upgrade could break the system again. I think we are doing good for now and this activation does really need to go. Again on the technical perspective, the block size hasn't been fully utilized I believed. And the consensus of the community is that we don't really need to have a upgrade at the moment. We all know what's the rationale behind by those big blockers pushing this but at least, common sense has prevailed as what other posters have said. Let's see what's going to happened in the next couple of days, we can't only speculate where the price is moving (right now is still going up).
