If you were a large institutional investor, say a hedge-fund manager, you would probably pay an analyst to, well, analyze bitcoin. I'm sure one of the punch list items that needed fixed PRIOR to investing would be the scalability issue.
Ergo, bitcoin needs to be seen as to be able to scale properly.
Maybe the CIA/CFR told Gavin that he needed to get bitcoin fixed up ASAP and ready for the near future as they are just itching to crash the global economy and institute their NWO.
Want Bitcoin to go to the moon? , well then these big hedgefund guys need to feel safe about the scaling.
I never thought of it that way, but it could be a side benefit of larger block sizes. Bitcoins are gaining awareness around the world, I suppose it is only a matter of time until big wall street money gets involved. I just hope that I can accumulate some more of them before it happens.
