Satoshi "promised" you nothing, with the arguable exception of Nakamoto Consensus being a solution/workaround to the Byzantine General Problem.
Good luck selling your false sense of urgency, especially now that XT's governance coup was rekt like Stannis at Winterfell and Hearn/Galvin have disappeared in a cloud of public disgrace.

there is some urgency.
right now you can't get a TX through without a good fee.
i wonder how long you can sell that there is "plenty of time" to keep arguing in circles...
What exactly is a "good fee?"
Bitcoin provides services unavailable in any other form; there no substitute for several of its functions.
But there you are, whining about paying less than a dollar for access to those miracles (which are produced at great expense).
There is no "urgency." Repeating such Gavinista agitprop was for a time effective at misleading the public, but that seasonal fad is over.
BIP000 (scale to 1MB now, then reconsider in a couple of years) is winning, and there is literally nothing you can do to change that fact.
So keep stewing in your impotent frustrated FUD and butt-rage. The rest of us will continue to scale Bitcoin via the proper channels, based on facts instead of choreographed panic.
