Looks like those assholes at Blockstream are losing finally. Looks like their 1MB block limit crippling of the blockchain so we all need to buy their Lightning Network isn't working out. I knew people would finally jump over their very dumb arguments that 2MB would lead to centralization.

I am not in favor of a private entity owning a group of core programmers who take a position to make valuable the offerings of that private entity. That just reeks of improper. Good riddance Blockstream. Looks like the new kid on the block is Bitcoin Classic!!!

What a beautiful post. Couldn't have said it better myself. I wonder how the Crypto world will remember Blockstream? After the Fork.... will they be punished? .... or forgiven?

I know how I will be voting in that one...... assuming of course they do not IMMEDIATELY turn from their destructive ways. Although, it is sort of ironic.... that the harder they fight against Classic, and the inevitable change that the OVERWHELMING majority has made clear it wants.... the more evil they look, and that is actually helping solidify resolve in the comunity against them, and for Classic.
