I am very hesitant to accept this as "original" {unedited} emails from Satoshi, if Mike Hearn is involved. I do not trust
anything where he is involved in. In the first email Satoshi says this : " 65.The existing Visa credit card network processes about 15 million Internet purchases per day worldwide. Bitcoin can already scale much larger than that with existing hardware for a fraction of the cost. It never really hits a scale ceiling. If you're interested, I can go over the ways it would cope with extreme size. "
....Forward about 8 years and "scaling" is the biggest issue we had to deal with in Bitcoin. He might not have seen this
coming, if he really said that.
