Meanwhile at the PwC/Blockstream meeting:

"So, we can funnel all the traffic through PwC-servers with something called The Lightning Network?"

Blockstream isn't selling its soul to PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Rather, it is PwC that is selling its soul to the blockchain.  It's their Come To Jesus moment, wherein they seek forgiveness and redemption.

PwC knows which way the wind is blowing; it's blowing in the direction of davout's famous maxim.

The true value that Bitcoin brings to the table is not "everyone gets to write into the holy ledger", it is instead "everyone gets to benefit from sane and non-inflationary financial instutions whose sanity and honesty are ensured by the holy blockchain".  -davout

Yet there you are, trying to spin the new era of sane/transparent/honest Big Four accounting as some sort of deal with the devil.

Are you mad Bitcoin (resplendent in triumph) is being used for world-changing heavy lifting as Satoshi intended, instead of yet another trivial retail payment rail disruption?   Grin
