Re: How a floating blocksize limit inevitably leads towards centralization
The block size is an intentionally limited economic resource, just like the 21,000,000-bitcoin limit.
I can not reconcile this statement with the comments made by Satoshi in the rest of the thread. Apparently nobody knew it was "intentionally limited" back then, including the designer.I'll accept that you and other developers changed your mind at some point about whether or not to increase the block size, but that leaving it limited was the plan from the beginning is not at all credible.
Leaving unchanged until closer to actually needing it to be raised was what I thought was being said in that ancient thread.
What did Satoshi say would constitute an actual need, as possibly distinct from lobbyist pressure or gosh knows what other things that could lead some folk to use words such as "need"?
Can haz moar? Needz moar moar moar! Must haz moar!
Who was it said "always leave the audience wanting more", or maybe it was "always leave them wanting more"? Someone with no knowledge of and/or experience with markets and/or marketing?
