Nice little historical tid bit.

quoting nevent1q…02av

James A. Donald (the first guy to reply to Satoshi Nakamoto on the cryptography mailing list)

was also the first small blocker

On November 3rd 2008, he wrote:
“But I think we need to concern ourselves with minimizing the data and bandwidth required by money transmitters […]

The smaller the data storage and bandwidth required for money issuers, the more resistant the system is”

He’s the same guy who told Satoshi Nakamoto that Bitcoin doesn’t scale – to which Satoshi replied that most users will transact using SPV while bandwidth and storage will become cheaper over time.
