OP: So what is your solution? At least Gavin is trying to move things forward. Seems like some people want bitcoin to petrify, or have pet ideas that have problems much greater than the 20 MB fork.
In the meantime it's a buying op for anyone with fiat. Worst case is nothing happens, and then in a year or so, *if* bitcoin keeps growing strongly, *then* we start running out of transaction capacity. Seems odd that the price of BTC would go down now because of a possible future problem that would merely keep bitcoin at a level that is greater than it is today.

OP doesn't understand that if Gavin has a good idea and we implement it, we will still be able to decide if any other ideas are to be implemented.
It's not like we're switching to closed source bitcoin and having him click generate coins to certain addresses. Jesus these tinfoil hat people are starting to get annoying. Shoo, shoo.

Sadly, OP understands perfectly, but decides to troll. Check his post history and you'll see mostly FUD. Might even be a sockpuppet account, hard to tell these days. If you see people ignoring the technical side of the argument completely and just basing their views on the personalities involved, you should probably disregard what they're saying. Particularly if their entire argument boils down to calling it "gavincoin".
It's not decentralised or even democratic. And it will even less be so if people switch to Gavins' fork.
Is to small to be fully decentralized, but we will get there eventually. All we need to get there is time! We are on the right track. Or that is a chain. Yes chain.
Node count is declining for years. Gavin does his best to speed up that process. So you're actuallly wrong. All we need is time to be more centralised.

Gavin now can directly influence marketprice and wants to be the only one to decide on the code like a king which will become a reality if people switch to XT.
Bitcoin will be truely Gavincoin if people go to the XT fork.
Gavin also does not care about node count so the network itself will become a lot less decentralised on his Gavinfork.
I don't think the XT/Gavin fork will have a lot of value in the end of the day.

You literally disproved your argument yourself:
will become a reality if people switch to XT.
Thats it. If PEOPLE choose to run nodes on XT, then XT will be the strongest chain. If people stick with Core, core will continue being the main chain. That's all. The devs can do whatever. At the end of the day, Bitcoin is nothing without the people running nodes. The people will decide what solution they prefer.
