The NERDS are Completely Wrong About Upholding a 1MB Block Size Limit

If Hillary Clinton wins the election, it means more and more central bank money printing via the U.S. Federal Reserve.

This means a higher Bitcoin price...

Which means many more people using Bitcoin...

Which means full blocks all the time...

Which means a lower Bitcoin price...

The NERDS are completely wrong about upholding the 1MB block size limit.

Full blocks are acting as a type of price suppression. A Bitcoin would cost over $6,000 today if they would just let the blocks scale to 2MB.

Do the NERDS understand what happens when you get a sudden 10x increase in users? You get a sudden 10x increase in transaction volume. What is so hard to understand?

Bitcoin has been unprepared for a 10x increase in users for the last 2 years. Either the NERDS are stupid or they're being paid by governments to artificially suppress the price. Both scenarios are bad for all crypto-currencies. Roger Ver (Bitcoin Jesus) gets this HUGE problem. This is the largest problem facing Bitcoin today...really, it is. That's why he is trying to force a 2MB increase. Hard-forks are part of the upgrade process. Get used to it. Bitcoin has survived a hard-fork before. It will survive another one. There will be dozens hard-forks over the next few decades as Bitcoin incorporates Ethereum and STEEM like code as well as upcoming 10x jumps in usage/transaction volume.

For STEEM to succeed, Bitcoin must succeed. End the debate. Move on. If I sound angry... I am.

Segwit is pretty much ready, so that takes it to 1.7 to 3mb, depending the use case.

This is very interesting, I had no idea that block size played a role in price.
