All the current challenges facing Bitcoin as regards to Block size/Segwit are clear indication that Satoshi never anticipated a highly successful Bitcoin in a short time.

Nonsense.

Block size limitation was not in the initial white paper or BTC implementation. It was introduced as an anti-DDOS measure later, and was always meant to be increased when necessary.

SegWit also was not part of the original BTC, but a fairly recent hack and a temporary measure with questionable benefits.

Don't presume to know about what SegWit is when you have no idea what you're talking about.
While Bitcoin did have a scaling plan from the beginning (bigger blocks), technology cannot keep up with Bitcoin's growth.

You'll see it in a year when Bitcoin Cash will have half or less as many nodes as it does to day, QFR this.

I don't know what your point is, other than being condescending (seems to be a popular way to treat new people on this forum).

SegWit was not mentioned in the white paper since it is a fairly recent development (2015 I believe). There have been rather serious security concerns raised about it recently, and it doesn't increase block size much (1.6x?).

I never mentioned Bitcoin Cash, which is not even the topic of the discussion?
