I'm still waiting for an actual plausible mechanism by which Blockstream is going dominate and corrupt the ecosystem, by the way.
I didn't mean to imply there isn't great potential, but its certainly unproven compared to mainchain, and the stalling is harmful.
Good for you if you trust blockstream.
I trust that they will do what they think benefits their company the most.So do I. What will benefit them the most is a rock solid Bitcoin core upon which to build a properly scaling set of solutions. This is exactly what I want as well.
Well, I guess we should agree to disagree that there is a conflict of interest then.
I'll just quote what I said in another thread and leave it at that.
Blockstream is in the business of off-chain scaling. Probably both mainchain and offchain scaling is required for Bitcoin.
You can't expect those core devs to be objective. Because of their business interests, they are going to be slightly to strongly biased
against mainchain scaling, even if that is not in the best interests of the larger community.
