What I don't get is how quickly the debate started and then dissolved with a potential hard fork as the outcome.
What was the urgency to make a change? Yes, Bitcoin couldn't scale as it was, but there wasn't even close to enough demand for Bitcoin transaction for the topic to have escalated so quickly.
Are Bitcoin people so delusional about how popular Bitcoin is or will be, that they thought the amount of transactions that could be put into a block was of such dire importance?

- ssharp 11y agoThe debate may be old, fair enough, but the past three or so months, gasoline was poured on the fire and I'm not sure why.
