My reasons for staying out of the debate are pretty obvious: And, at core, I think it might come down to three issues: I find it immensely helpful in keeping up with much of the day-to-debate debate. What becomes clear when you read it is that there are at least! First, there is a very strong security engineering culture. I sometimes think the trick to being a good security engineer is to think like a software tester and vice versa: Your job is to figure out all the ways something could fail, and fix it.
So, when presented with something like an increased block size, you obviously focus on all the things that could go wrong: Better not do it just yet. But, on the other side, is a somewhat different culture, one that comes from a world where there are problems everywhere you look and they all need fixing. So you pick the biggest one, fix it and move on. The engineering functions of large companies are often like this.
There are, after all, usually no good solutions, just compromises. Where it gets more complex is when it comes to vision: And so, the engineering discussions get lost in the sound of people talking past each other or, worse, resorting to ad hominem arguments. I have no particular insight into where this will go or which vision of the future will prevail. Before we even debate the appropriate growth rate of the block size, there is the problem that people disagree about what bitcoin is even for.
Is it primarily a currency or a general-purpose ledger? Neither use case has yet proven itself outside a small niche of tinkerers, tin-hatters and criminals.
Gideon for me you hit the point, Bitcoin remain an experiment, and a delicate one. A well rounded summary, meanwhile, Earthport went public with complete Ripple Gateway integration as their 3rd option of fast, faster, fastest for global cross-border payments methods for institutional and banking customers.
