Re: [May 2024] Fees are low, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs
What's "Bitcoin"? I remember blocks being temporarily limited from 30 to 1 MB by Satoshi in the early days, to reduce spam and blockchain growth.
Satoshi also envisioned the blockchain to grow by 100 GB per day, because that'd equate to "just the size of 12 DVD", completely ignoring the bottleneck in verification. He believed that the blockchain should be accessible only by server farms that generate new coins, everybody else should opt-in to SPV. It's clear to me today that Satoshi wasn't the best figure to see as the leading expert.
HmmMAA will scold you for doubting Satoshi!
On a serious note, after reading all Satoshi's emails that leaked a while ago, I came to the conclusion that it was most likely a band of people with varying interests/agendas.
That's the simplest explanation I can think of, because there are even more elaborate ones (like perhaps he had bipolar disorder). There are lots of inexplicable contradictions in those emails.
