Thought experiment. It's easy if you try. 

Imagine everything Satoshi Nakamoto posted publicly, then imagine he is transported through time to present day and gets filled in on everything that has happened in Bitcoin Core since then. 

If he was not able to signal his approval or disapproval at any of the decisions that Bitcoin Core Devs have made since then, what do you think he would do today? 

What would be his take on Chia? Would he take it as an attack on what he built? Would he see it as building and improving on the standards he set forth in the original Bitcoin Whitepaper?

Would he be cheering on Bram and Gene? 

I would like to think so.
