So fees are getting stupid (some as high as $160), Segwit adoption is slow and the lightning network is still a ways off. The price is being affected and BTC market dominance is almost at all time lows.

I think it is about time that we raise the block size, to give segwit adoption and LN more time. Being that the blocksize increase would be done by core we can trust they'll do it right, so why shouldn't it be done?

If we delay too long BTC will lose its dominance and when that happens it is all over.

Let's drop the tribalism, the bickering, and just do what is in the interest of BTC. An increase in blocksize will not be the end to decentralization, it's been almost 10 years since BTC began hard drive sizes have increased substantially in that time and the cost has come down substantially.
