Your post makes me chuckle.  I'm well aware of the context in which he made his statements. I've read every single post satoshi ever made on this forum.

nowhere did I state that the 1M cap was in place in v0.1.   You misinterpreted.

I don't even care to comment on the rest.

All I'm saying is that if Satoshi was somehow unaware of the ramifications of that change when he made it, then he was a fool.   I don't believe he was a fool, thus I **personally** believe he had an idea it would exist in perpetuity, or at any rate be hard to change later.

You don' t have to believe that way.  I'm only stating my opinion.   deal with it.
