The concern raised here relates to scaling, and here we disagree on
the proper direction of Bitcoin. To me it seems clear that Bitcoin was
designed to scale better than it has. It honestly looks like
developers are arbitrarily avoiding storing much data on chain, with
quickly shoehorned solutions like the lightning protocol. Bitcoin
simply got big too fast. I believe it was intended to handle large
data smoothly: not with single gigabyte blocks that every user must
store, but with simplistically designed and well-backed decentralised
propagation and storage of data. I see that not having happened due to
mostly political issues, and that's unfortunate, but other chains have
made strides here.
I don't think satoshi was familiar with how people behave when they
have a lot of money.
