>>Guess what has to happen to maintain or increase value transfer when you have reached a limit on blocksize. Ding ding ding! You guessed it!

No, the price rise is not in any way conditioned on the block size being limited. Whether $1 billion worth of coins is being moved via 1 million or 1 thousand txs has no bearing on what the per coin price has to be. All that matters is the value moved and the number of coins doing the moving.

>>The utility has not degraded and just looking at 'number of transactions' is not useful.

Being limited to larger value transactions with higher fees hugely degrades utility.
