beside all the added benefits segwit + 2MB blocks will add
A much more encouraging thing has been revealed, no group not even Core calls the shots, bitcoin's consensus mechanism forces us to work together to find the best possible solutions. I think everyone has been concerned with the idea that bitcoin development had become centralized to one group(Core).
thats if this isn't all for show and Core refuses to 2MB and or says they will do it and a week later have petter todd come up with some BS story as to why its not happening as they planed.
if that happens tho miner will all opt out of BitcoinCore and into classic, and i will follow suit, as i spit on Cores grave.
