You can quote this all you want but it doesn't state his intentions. That's why the debate exists.

Does this speak to his intentions?

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.

Ya, bitcoin as a high powered settlement system.

Now you are just ignoring the evidence.

No that's why i think its likely Szabo and I've already shown him to be inline with what I am saying. His works are part of my argument, and part of what I have cited in this thread. He wrote a lot on micropayments.

The thing about satoshi is that many people took whatever he said about Bitcoin to be accurate. Many people were very interested in Bitcoin but did not understand how it would work, and looked to Satoshi for guidance. Satoshi has no reason to be in any way inaccurate about his descriptions regarding anything about Bitcoin. If Satoshi thought that no new features should be added to Bitcoin then he would have said this, and most people would have accepted this. However this is not something that he said.
