Segwit soon + 2mb fork being scheduled by core = around 4mb blocks during 2017, there's nothing to discuss about block size unless you demand 8mb now.
until it happens, it still didnt happen.. all this was already supposed to have happened, yet it never did happen.. and now your saying its going to happen supposedly soon.. just like before.. deja vu .. how about getting the work done first... and then we will stop discussing it.
exactly. It's like buying chickens from someone who only has eggs. The likelihood of eggs becoming chickens is less than a certainty, and the risk needs to be factored in.
In the mean time, spam attacks now reliably cause the price to drop ~$20 and price doesn't seem to fully recover when they are over. Buying now seems to offer more risk than reward and waiting appears to be prudent.
I would rather buy at $600 with a 90% chance of a 10% profit than buy at $300 with a 40% chance of doubling my money. There will be plenty of time to profit if a scaling solution actually plays out, but it hasn't played out yet and there is a real possibility that it won't. People who have a financial interest in preventing/delaying SegWit know how to do it because the smallblockers have shown them how to do it. A vocal minority can inject enough FUD by spewing technobabble to prevent a near unanimous consensus. That's all it takes to kill an upgrade under Wladimir.
