there is no skill behind making a block bigger. zero innovation. no skill = no value
Original thought is overrated. What matters is what works. Bigger blocks work.
Its not that simple.
Feel free to elaborate.
Bigger blocks does not make the sum that comprises Bitcoin necessarily better. One could make a Bitcoin clone with 2second block time and call it better or with 1GB blocks for that matter. But the trade off involved cannot be ignored if contemplating about this diligently. The BCH solution does not scale, only temporarily postponed the issue.
And finally, but that is just personal, I do not like how these boys behaved themselves in this matter. Bitcoin Gold on the other hand....
We need more throughput. It is that simple. We have segwit now, and it is not enough. If you have a better alternative than segwit+bigger blocks, feel free to share. Clonecoins would not even matter if we already had the benefit they chose to incorporate.
