You're totally ignoring my arguments. This is pretty much how every discussion with an advocate of 1-MB-block-Bitcoin and $100 transaction fees goes. It's bizarre.

People who wanted lower security in exchange for lower fees already got what they wanted with Bcash.

What problem do you have with people running the blockchain they prefer?

I'm using $ as a unit of account because people have a frame of reference for it. Any real world value can be described as its dollar equivalent, and frequently is for understandability.
