Satoshi never designed Bitcoin for your free shit nodes army.

I'm gonna keep this quote close. Thank you.

So just in order to clear the air you confirm that you vision of Bitcoin is one of mega data centers running full nodes with every individual users all over the world using SPV?

Basically yes, the same vision Satoshi had and we all bought in. Unless you have something better to propose that is not vaporware as of right now?

Satoshi's vision was dependent on SPV having fraud proof level security which it does not and we have little idea how to implement with current technology.


It's not like nodes will turn out as data centers by tomorrow, even with bigger blocks we are years away from that. That gives plenty of time to improve security of SPV clients which is already good.

Also, it's not because we get bigger blocks that we can't still find solutions to keep the blockchain as small as possible. Everyone agrees that it is a good thing. It’s not because solutions aren't available now that they won’t arise in the future.
