No, you are incorrect. Your statement is entirely an implication.
Everything I stated, is backed by referenceable information on this forum and other places.
Your statements as to this boarders on conspiracy, which you stated prior you do not believe in.

Why do you want them to have done this purposefully?
Don't you understand that IF they DID, then bitcoin will never manifest "Ideal Money"?




No i didn't imply anything.  Satoshi never said we will increase the blocksize or we must, or we are going to, or anything of the sort.  He said "could".

I am talking about his quotes, that you quoted, and I am not implying anything.  You are implying he said these things when he didn't and if he did you would have quoted him saying them and you haven't cause he didn't.

No, that's not an appropriate response.
I do not need to quote everything Satoshi said that points toward my belief.
It is overwhelming and voluminous. I don't need to build the case.

But your belief is based on conspiracy, so you need to show more evidence.


Edit: Added for sake of argument.

Forgot to add the good part about micropayments.  While I don't think Bitcoin is practical for smaller micropayments right now, it will eventually be as storage and bandwidth costs continue to fall.  If Bitcoin catches on on a big scale, it may already be the case by that time.  Another way they can become more practical is if I implement client-only mode and the number of network nodes consolidates into a smaller number of professional server farms.  Whatever size micropayments you need will eventually be practical.  I think in 5 or 10 years, the bandwidth and storage will seem trivial.
In the above quote, Satoshi is discussion possibility of micropayments. They would not be possible with a 1MB cap.
Thus Satoshi did not intend 1MB forever, since he is discussion a future point where even micropayments may be On-Chain.
(Side note: I disagree with his 5 to 10 years, since that would lead to centralization of the network, another topic.)
