I guess Satoshi must have been a "Classic Shill" as well then, since he was most certainly also what you would call a big blockist.

So you do realise that if we had followed Satoshi's idea then Bitcoin would have actually failed because the number of txs could not be processed in 10 minutes (or don't you care about such facts)?

Veritas is a blind fool. He sees Satoshi as some kind of god and once you call him out on that he says that he "just agrees with his vision". Satoshi was not a good programmer (let's not talk about engineering) nor did he had the data that we have today. Actually, we should just leave him in peace. His words (from the past) about this debate don't really matter.

If you are a new user, you won't be able to mine any block in any meaningful time, so your only choice is to connect to any of the mining pools, and this is already the case today, mining has been separated from the full nodes client since years ago.

Nonsense. Just because you don't have the money to do that, that does not mean that somebody else doesn't.

Even if you are a new mining farm with enough R&D resources, you won't be able to construct 100MB block since there is usually only 1MB transaction every 10 minutes, maybe 5MB during peak. Unless you are an attacker intentionally construct huge blocks with lots of spamming transactions, you won't be able to construct a large block. But in that case the rest of the miners are rejecting such attacking blocks

In other words, having such a block size limit is stupid at best.
