So my other topic got deleted! This isn't good the childish behaviour will only hurt them.
Anyhow I just want to say one incentive for those who want to keep the block limit is that they already have wealth. These guys are very early adopters who are happy with the number of coins they have. They see a block size increase as risky.
The others want bitcoin to grow. They want bitcoin for everyone.
You have a point the issue isn't exactly about transactions but the future of bitcoin and that is what I don't see a lot of talk about. This should really be called the commodity or currency debate, the current blocksize will lead to a gold like thing used only for trading of large transactions or cashing out to fiat while the larger blocks will push for it to be a currency.
I think for the health Bitcoin should increase blocks but I do like the idea of it being a commodity personally but Bitcoin is larger than my and my personal wants.
Bitcoin to be like gold and currency
