The email is from Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, and was sent to the bitcoin-dev mailing list. In the email, Satoshi expresses concerns about the recent block size debate and the release of Bitcoin XT 0.11A. He believes that the developers of this fork are violating the original vision of Bitcoin by not achieving widespread consensus before proposing a fork. Satoshi acknowledges that a lot has changed since he designed Bitcoin and that new knowledge has been gained that contradicts some of his early opinions. He also suggests that there needs to be a better incentive for users to run nodes instead of relying solely on altruism. If two developers can fork Bitcoin and succeed in redefining what "Bitcoin" is, then Satoshi will have no choice but to declare it a failed project.
