Piling every proof-of-work quorum system in the world into one dataset doesn't scale.

Bitcoin users might get increasingly tyrannical about limiting the size of the chain so it's easy for lots of users and small devices.

Out-of-context quote is out of context.

Being taken out of its original context for resuse in another is what makes it a quote.  Have you never experienced the phenomenon of quoting before?

You can't refute Satoshi's point about users getting "increasingly tyrannical about limiting the size of the chain so it's easy for lots of users and small devices" so you snark instead.

No, actually no. The idea of a quote is that the same context applies to both scenarios, but here this is not happening. Satoshi was talking about BitDNS (Namecoin?), which has nothing to do with what we have here. Also, you removed the middle of the quote, which makes the two sentences connected in a different way.

If you're going to quote, then quote properly.
