he had a solution in 2010

It can be phased in, like:

if (blocknumber > 115000)
    maxblocksize = largerlimit

It can start being in versions way ahead, so by the time it reaches that block number and goes into effect, the older versions that don't have it are already obsolete.

When we're near the cutoff block number, I can put an alert to old versions to make sure they know they have to upgrade.

what you are referring to "issues" and "flaws" are not "flaws" they are simple issues that any system faces. a flaw means some serious thing like some problem with the way private/public key works or signing for that matter. and it is not something you go to "hiding" for it!

so he let the system run on it's own.

"let it"?!!!
the system is a decentralized network not a bank or centralized altcoin that you shut down by flipping a switch one day if you decided to.
a decentralized network runs on its own and thanks to its participants AKA peers. Satoshi and by extension other individuals have no say in it.


the reason may be this:

What if Satoshi Nakamoto " The creator of Bitcoin " is actually not dead but hiding. What if he knew that these scaling issues are going to come in the future and there are actual flaws in his own system. But he didn't wanted his hardwork to go in vain and so he let the system run on it's own. What if he knew all of this and this is why he is hiding away from the world.
What do you guys think ? Did he wanted to test whether the world could find a solution to this ?
