Everyone supported a block size increase, even the Core devs!

Funny how money changes things. Core Devs actually wanted big blocks:

Adam Back (2015) (before he was Blockstream CEO): "My suggestion 2MB now, then 4MB in 2 years and 8MB in 4years then re-asses."

Pieter Wuille (2013) (before he was Blockstream co-founder): "I'm in favor of increasing the block size limit in a hard fork, but very much against removing the limit entirely... My suggestion would be a one-time increase to perhaps 10 MiB or 100 MiB blocks (to be debated), and after that an at-most slow exponential further growth."

Theymos (2010) (before turning /r/Bitcoin into a censored cesspool): "In the future most people will run Bitcoin in a "simple" mode that doesn't require downloading full blocks or transactions. At that point MAX_BLOCK_SIZE can be increased a lot."

Creadits to /u/freefactoid, here.

UPDATE: Seems he already posted it himself.
