> leading to centralization

Repeating this propaganda over and over and over doesn't make it true.

No centralization will occur with an increase in block size, as there will still be enough participants to prevent attacking the block chain.

If what is meant by centralization is the reduction of people who can run nodes, then keeping the block size small also increases centralization by this definition, as there is a reduction in people who can afford to transact on the main chain.

But when it comes to maintaining the core trustless network inherent in the bit coin algorithm, increasing block size does nothing to break its function.

Stop with the propaganda.
