I am disappointed that you did not understand my point of view. Let me rep=
hrase it for you,
People tipping, buying 0.99$ products and gamblers that need Bitcoin transa=
ctions *more* than the rest of the people will afford the fees that establi=
sh the equilibrium between demand and supply of Bitcoin transactions. The p=
eople are free to use they money for whatever they like, but you should und=
erstand that Bitcoin transactions are not free.
I was merely attempting to point out that spammers and gamblers would be th=
e first ones that would go away. They would be free to spam or gamble, but =
they would have to pay for it.
When a category of users would get priced out because of the fee market, th=
ey would be free to use any altcoin they want.
Please understand that not everyone will leave. The more important players =
will remain, those that need it the most. The other players are free to use=
whatever altcoin they wish.

Hello,

Fee market means that an equilibrium is found between the demand for bitcoi=

If a fee market starts to exist, the first ones to leave are the spammers, =
probably followed by the gamblers and perhaps people transacting very low a=
mounts. The people that actually need Bitcoin would remain.
Please allow this fee market to form...
In the absence of a functioning fee market, I will refuse to run Bitcoin co=
de that increases the block size and will do my best to tell everyone I kno=
w not to upgrade towards running such code. If Bitcoin succombs to the free=
stuff army, I will sell all the coins and leave. Nothing is for free.
I apologize for any exagerations, but I just felt strongly towards expressi=
ng my opinion here. I'm only a local Bitcoin trader, computer engineer, wit=
h a reasonable understanding of free markets. And I'm running only one full=
node.
Kind regards,
Valentin
