https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3jhwi3/i_support_I support BIP000, the BIP that proposes not to change Bitcoin.
Why?
Because I believe Bitcoin isn't broken, I do not buy the false dichotomy that a choice "must be made" between different competing BIPs, or else the sky is going to fall on our heads without notice and "potential new users" are going to "leave ship".
Because I understand that the security of the network has to somehow be paid for, and the current money issuance schedule is still in a phase where mining is heavily subsidized. I know that at the same fee levels, even with 100mb blocks, the miners would make nowhere near the current block reward.
Because I conlude that therefore, blocks must necessarily be full for the Bitcoin network to be able to pay for its own security.
Because I realize that the block space is a scarce resource that is sold, but not paid for, by the miners, especially with constant time block propagation proposed by IBLT and the like, which is why a "tragedy of the commons" situation can only be avoided by a block size cap.
Because I compare this situation with how nonsensical it would be to declare that "people should be allowed to chop down as much wood as they'd like from the rainforest, because the market will magically sort it out and protect the trees".
Because I am not scared by the constant fear-mongering of those who compulsively want to "fix" a system that isn't broken to ensure that they'll get rich while they sleep by allowing more people to "buy into Bitcoin".
Because I don't buy the false sense of urgency that is manipulated upon us, I want to see if less costly solutions can be found, and I want to revisit once fees become more important than the block reward.
This is why, my friends, I support BIP000.
