When will the hurting stop ?

now think critically about what you are being told (including me)

One, the base blocksize will be increased. 8MB base block size will be a reality in 5-10 years. Suddenly we are talking about years not decades to onboard.

the owner of this sub stated "If there really is an emergency, like if it costs $1 to send typical transactions even in the absence of a spam attack, then the contentiousness of a 2 MB hardfork would almost certainly disappear"

now what happened when we hit $50 average fees December 2017? I hope Bitcoin can hardfork and increase the blocksize but in the light of this sentiment why hard forks are altcoins i wouldn't hold my breath.
