And isn't this the difference between dictatorships and a free decentralized ecosystem?
The fact that you are incapable of convincing the overwhelming majority to switch to your protocol, lies on you. The fact that the overwhelming majority cannot be forced change is a property of a free decentralized ecosystem.
In a dictatorship, people don't choose what they want. In here, you are free to opt-in to any protocol you want.
If people don't want to follow they stick to the old one, just as people didn't follow BSV they might stick with the 1MB block rather than the 4x blocks.
Why are you afraid of letting people hose?
What? Seriously, what do you mean, I don't get it.
Complaints. All I read is complaints and nothing in action. The Bitcoin network is in a state where the arguments for change must be very compelling. It is like complaining why you can't push a giant rock alone. Extensive research is underway on second layers, recognizing that adjusting the block size limit isn't a viable long-term solution. I neither believe that the block size should remain at 4 MB forever, but at least that is tested, and is proved to be quite sustainable.
Again, I do not see the cryptocurrency space as an on-chain volume competition. Its intrinsic value extends beyond that-- aiming to uphold a socially resistant status quo against change. It is a prerequisite needed for money of that kind. Financial transactions are rather a second layer problem, rather than a main layer.
