segwit nearly at 30% now.
only 30% is not voting for either BU or segwit.
imo we should just HF a new rule that says miners MUST be signaling for either BU or segwit
whoever ends up with >51% == winner
losers just deal with it and fallow suit.
Why do we need a winner? Why does anyone have to follow suit?
Why is voting for the status quo wrong? The people who want the status quo aren't allowed to have an opinion?
If the network was truly divided 51%/49%, wouldn't it be better for everyone if these two sides just went their separate ways instead of having a large minority of pissed off people?
Why should we turn monetary freedom into mob rule?
While I think yours is the opinion of a minority of bitcoiners, I think this sentiment is nevertheless present in a significant amount of people, especially quite early adopters and more "hardcore" bitcoiners.
The problem I have with this stance is that it assumes that bitcoin will always be the default choice for hard currency, that it won't be outcompeted because its history and network effect will remain sufficient despite the network being unable to scale further from the current relatively minor userbase when other currencies might reach networks able to process transactions for all of humanity.
Don't get me wrong, I want bitcoin to be a safe and reliable currency, I am not in the "move fast and break stuff" crowd. However, a complete inability to evolve will result in being outcompeted I think.
