is a clear conflict of interest with the core developers and Blockstream.

FUD

If we ignore personalities, and focus on pure technical solutions. Segwit is far superior to 1mb hardfork increase. Thats all as far as facts.

Calling my argument "FUD" is not a counter-argument. Why is my charge of conflict of interest FUD? Do you even understand the charge? Blockstream's business model does not work without a fee market, but creating a fee market now, before a critical mass of users are formed, will prevent the growth that is necessary for such a fee market to economically function. If that's FUD, tell me why it's FUD.

Its FUD because:

1) devs had these ideas before they started their business to promote their vision not other way round.

2) devs have many bitcoin so its in their interest for it to have best possible outcome for bitcoin

3) devs have history of providing open source and free work and being motivated by problems, ideas not money,

4) accusations of conflict of interest can be made at anybody like Gavin, Hearn, coinbase etc. The accusations are made selectively only against core devs who have different ideas to you.

5) Most devs, and people opposing classic have nothing to do with blockstream.
