If you can't afford a larger computer to sync BTC, you can't afford to send BTC!

The argument that increasing the block size because it will require more computer power is absolute horse shit.

If you can't afford the cost increase computer-wise... you can't afford to send your fucking Bitcoin anyways at this point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm spending SO much money per send it is literally making me sick.

It's time to increase the blocksize... Bitcoin needs to be able to be used at a vending machine by normal people.

Satoshi would have never wasted his time responding to a vending machine question if that wasn't the goal. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=532.msg6306#msg6306

Well their argument is eventually that block size will max out also, and you will be back to where you are now. It’s like building six lane highways and still getting traffic. Also increase block size centralizes bitcoin. Just wait for lightening or you can use Segwit.

Bitcoin miners should be able to be supported by minimum fees and full blocks. It's always something right around the corner like lightening network etc.

I just don't understand how people can argue that "normal" folks won't be able to have a full node if the blocksize is upped, but here we are payinf $44 per transaction!!!!!!!!

That is some crazy shit... the arguement for "normal" people is fucking nuts!

How will it increase centralization? Lightening IS centralization.

Argument that increasing block size
