Well, whaddya know, someone comes here trying to sift through bullshit and gets even more bullshit to sift through.

Everyone from every angle has a peppering of disingenuousness as far as I'm concerned. Everyone's convinced they're right. Anyone who is not right is declared Satan's golfing partner.

As the OP can do nothing about any of it I'd advise him not to worry about it. It will either all be sorted out in the wash or Bitcoin will be left behind as a salutary lesson to all.

My take on it is, Satoshi should've seen this coming when the 1mb limit was introduced and left a roadmap for others to work on. It was objected to in 2010 for the reasons that have panned out exactly as predicted back then.

Anyone could tell him or you that a daily capacity of 250,000 or so isn't enough. Even if it wasn't the right roadmap, it would be something to draw on.

And here's my prediction for the day - this thread will degenerate into the same old people arguing about the same old things, none of whom have any influence anyway.
