While doing my-own-node project, I understood why blocksize should never be increased.
Took me 2 weeks to download the chain, then something went wrong and I had to do it all over again. It literally took me a month to fully download the chain. Now I'm waiting for it to sync (currently at 2%) I think it's safe to say that this is at least a couple more weeks.
I can't imagine how things would have been if Blocksize was 32mb? This would literally abolish alot of people who want to run their own nodes. Throwing quick fixes at a problem was not never a solution.
anyways, joining the party soon.
