Adopting the bitcoinxt fork will make the incentives for miners in the form of transaction fees miniscule
That's why several mining pools are supporting the 8mb proposal. They must be looking forward to receiving "miniscule" amounts of fees. Oh wait, that makes no sense whatsoever.
Also:
Assume Network 'A' can process a maximum of 2500 transactions per block and the average fee is .0001
Assume Network 'B' can process a maximum of 20000 transactions per block and the average fee is .00005
Which network can potentially generate a higher amount in fees? That's right, the one that can support more transactions. Learn to math plz. Clearly the miners who support the fork have done their homework and understand basic numeracy.
Small casual transactions can be built ontop of the main bitcoin blockchain once those solutions are developed. Molding the main payment layer of the blockchain into something which can pay for small purchases such as coffee will ruin the main monetary uses of bitcoin.
You mean it will ruin "your" main monetary uses of Bitcoin. If a majority support the fork, maybe their main monetary use includes small purchases and they don't want some elitist telling what they can and can't do in a permissionless system. If your uses aren't compatible with that, maybe this isn't the project you thought it was.
