maybe in the future, a government will want to go to war or do something that the majority of the poeple don't want, they will fork their blockchain so that the government coins are gone or redistributed or wtv, suddenly the government is afraid of its poeple and not the other way around.
this is good.

That's exactly why governments do not use bitcoin, and never will.
Finally, the forking of bitcoin is no more of a people's choice than choosing between 2 presidential nominees in US elections. Who proposed the bigger block size? You? The people? Or was it Gavin & Co.?
The same thing that cripples representative Democracy cripples bitcoin
I did proposed a higher block size when this was talked about a while back, the 1MB limit has been a hot topic for a LONG time, and uping the limit is the solution you come up with about 30 seconds into your analysis of the problem.
problem: the block size of 1MB allows for only 7TX per second
first thought: why not up the limit?
the reasons why not, include hypothetical scenarios that don't even lead to major problem ( in my view, large mining pools aren't a problem. )
and so the majority want to up the limit.
You're missing the point. I'm not saying that bigger blocksize isn't an attractive solution, only that it wouldn't become an option without the powers-that-be getting behind it. Core devs != community.
>its nice to see the community think about
Gavin is not "the community." The community doesn't have a clue re. tech. aspects of bitcoin. The community only moons about farting through silk.
>... and solve these potential future problems before they become an issue.
Let's hold off with patting ourselves on the back. Nothing has been solved. A hardfork (which would be a temporary solution) has been proposed, not implemented.
look around everyone's discussing it, poeple are dreaming up possible pitfalls to the proposed solution, videos have been made about it, if this isnt the community thinking about the problem IDK what is... it just so happens that "the power that be" ( Gavin ) and the majority, agree, while a smaller but still rather significant minority still and always will disagree, so your getting confused into thinking this thing is being pushed onto us.
well we have a solution thats been thought of alot and seems ready to go, which is 99% of the battle in most cases, with bitcoin tho having a good solution seems to be 1% of the problem...
Everyone's been discussing it for months. There was a huge thread for arguing about it where highly technical arguments had been raging for page after page. I cannot find it, but there are plenty of other smaller threads about raising the block size. This is a link to the latest.
