Yeah, let's keep spewing out nonsense about blocks being supposedly full. That kind of framing will keep us in "reality."

http://www.simple.gy/bitcoin/Take your Ray Charles glasses off when looking at the facts.
O.k. I had a further explanation in there, and you chose to edit out my explanation. I could provide some further facts as well, yet the burden is not upon me to prove anything.
In essence, you various big blockers have a burden to establish that there is some kind of problem with facts and/or logic. So why do you want to spew out the nonsense and irrelevant information about the fullness of the block when it really does not matter? We have ongoing decent transaction times that are largely unchanged in the past couple of years, we have fees that remain relatively low in the past couple of years, we have BTC prices that are largely in the upwards direction in the past couple of years and we have fairly meaningful solutions (referring to developments related to seg wit) that are largely vetted, largely non controversial and largely about to go live.
Nonetheless, you, and some of your big blocker ilk, want to spew out nonsensical information to imply that bitcoin is in some kind of crisis situation, and you do not have either material facts nor decent logic that reasonably supports such vague FUD laden assertions.
The network is at capacity. How is that FUD? The evidence is there. Look at it. Or, are you looking at testnet or something?
What you're basically saying is:
The train is full. You can get on this train if you pay more and we'll pull someone off the train. They'll have to wait for another train, or pay more than you offer.
With that sort of attitude, users will just continue to use banks and credit cards. They don't bump users transactions.
There should be 100m people using bitcoin right now. Stop making it a niche application and giving banks time to adjust and offer something shitty, but will give customers a reason to not move over to Bitcoin.
