NACK.

Anyone advocating for raising the block size is either ignoring the existence of Lightning or has never run a Lightning node on low-resource hardware.

We need to lower the block size instead.

See [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqNEQS80-h4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqNEQS80-h4) for a strong argument as to why lowering the block size would be beneficial.
