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.
Yep. 

It has now become the case that Classic is the will of the people, large block size is what the majority wants, and SegWit and sidechains is the Alt.  Core has benefitted mightily by calling everything the 'alt'.  Now, they are the alt.  Core Devs need to be replaced.  You can't work for Blockstream and impose unnecessary restrictions on bitcoin just because your cool new technology needs the capacity failure to drive demand.  100% bullshit.  Those Core Devs can't be trusted. 

Blockstream is 100% bullshit.  Time to stop this crap now.  Remove the 1MB cap.
