Title: realistically, how much longer could this blocksize debate go on?
Post by: kodtycoon on March 23, 2016, 03:14:50 AM
is it not a major concern that if its not resolved prior to the block halving, a massive surge txs before/during/after a bubble could cause serious problems?

on a side note, do you think the resolution of the blocksize issue could be the catalyst for another price surge and possible new ath's?

It is all debatable. You can go back and forth with both sides with pros and cons, but in the end no one knows 100%.
The only thing that is knowable is that Segwit will not be ready before the halving and there will be no 2mb increase till after Segwit.

I think if the issue was "resolved" (meaning a fix majority of parties are happy with) then price will definitely increase by 15%.
Will there be a surge or new ath because of it? I highly doubt it, because another fight or something else always comes along.

Next issue will be fungibility and blacklisting, I suspect.

If it wasn't blocksize, then it would be block interval, or block density.

No. It is not a major concern.
