Re: If YOU were Satoshi, what would you do now?

If you were the one, Satoshi Nakamoto
What would YOU do at this very important time with bitcoins life?

He'd rejoice. Everything is going exactly according to plan.

Despite your claims that Satoshi practically expected Bitcoin to be a power vacuum and give way to altcoins, I think Satoshi actually aimed for Bitcoin to grow gradually and scale accordingly.

You misunderstand my stance. I think Satoshi designed Bitcoin to scale as a settlement layer that can handle a $xx trillion marketcap.

I don't think he designed Bitcoin for "altcoins can take over".

Your misunderstanding is because you think Bitcoin has to scale transaction volume and it doesn't need to. It can be the transaction layer, which is much more important from a fungible money perspective than being a transaction coin.

It would have been nice to get this attention in any other context. WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet's nest, and the swarm is headed towards us.

Other members on the forum generally agreed with this sentiment. Check the thread.

I was aware of his comment. I have read everything Satoshi wrote in public.
