My favorite quote from Satoshi Nakamoto is :

Quote

The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust.

Which is yours?

"It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on. If enough people think the same way, that becomes a self fulfilling prophecy." - Satoshi Nakamoto

"If you’re sad about paying (a transaction) fee, you could always turn the tables and run a node yourself and maybe someday rake in a 0.44 fee yourself."

Anyhow, here's my post from that thread:

I've always liked the way this one makes it clear that consolidation in the mining industry was the plan from the beginning:

Quote from: satoshi on July 14, 2010, 04:10:52 PM

I anticipate there will never be more than 100K nodes, probably less. It will reach an equilibrium where it's not worth it for more nodes to join in. The rest will be lightweight clients, which could be millions.

At equilibrium size, many nodes will be server farms with one or two network nodes that feed the rest of the farm over a LAN.

This one echos the same sentiment:

Quote from: satoshi on July 28, 2010, 09:00:38 PM

The current system where every user is a network node is not the intended configuration for large scale. That would be like every Usenet user runs their own NNTP server. The design supports letting users just be users. The more burden it is to run a node, the fewer nodes there will be. Those few nodes will be big server farms. The rest will be client nodes that only do transactions and don't generate.

But I think one of my all time favorites is:

If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.

That not what Satoshi Nakamoto said, that's what the hacker who hacked his email said mate Roll Eyes

this is Satoshi nakamoto profile on the forums https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/satoshi-3 , basically the only place where you will find his quotes .

Sorry to be a wet blanket. Writing a description for (bitcoin) for general audiences is bloody hard. There’s nothing to relate it to.
