It's interesting how people see things differently. I think your first
statement above represents a great step forward in the debate. Unlike
Adam Back, you state that a block size limit is not necessary to create
a functioning fee market.
As to your second statement, unfortunately for immediate harmonious
relations, I was merely separating out the elevated fee market concern,
not at all saying it is the only or even the biggest concern with
limited capacity. Alan Reiner, Ryan X. Charles and others have
eloquently explained how restrictive a 1MB limit is, even with "layer 2".
What's missing from the decentralization dialog is a quantitative
measure of decentralization.
Why not slam users with higher fees now, if we accept that they may be
necessary someday? For the same reasons you don't ask a child, age 5, to
work in a factory.
