@pokkst @Hyolobrika @cjd Who said what back then is hardly relevant. Some people watched how ideas work out in the real world and adjusted their beliefs. Thanks to them it is still possible to run Bitcoin full node on an average laptop.

Bitcoin Cash... Is it possible to sync it from the genesis block? And what is the blockchain size?
There's no shortage of shitcoins where transactions are fast and cheap (just like Visa and MasterCard, wow!), but if you can't run full node, you have to rely on some intermediary. Speaking of the "original purpose of Bitcoin", the first sentence in Bitcoin whitepaper is:

>A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.
