We've been getting full blocks all day.  Armstrong may be right that a HF in 2017 is too little too late.

wheres brg444 when you need him

full blocks != end of the world

I agree, but it could = the end of this rally. Or every rally from here on out.

so long as the full blocks are temporary so is this effect
and speculation that it's only temporary should further reduce this effect.

the blocks are full, full of crap ... or else fees would be rising, crap doesn't crap for fees.

blocksize will go up when the technology allows for it.

Reader, open this site:
https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/

Watch the Latest Transactions for while...:
Come back and tell me those are crap. Also, tell me we have no competition in this arena.

The technology allows for it today.

(If you're me: Gently weep at the difference in post quality from the Marcus of yesteryear.)

look here https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/tx/1955f713c09279da01e71c169d9888d8d03aaf4814a4324acbb515b5e8a33f0c

this one like most, has 2 outputs

when you send 0.1BTC from a 10BTC address, the 1 TX generally goes like: send 0.1BTC out, and 9.9BTC back to an address i own, and that shows up as a TX totaling  10BTC.

its mostly "spam" aka poeple gambling on dice games and such.

@marcus_of_augustus, saying that these TX do "crap" for fees doesn't sound right seeing how they account for ~90% of the total fees miners collect on each block.
