After that, the plan is to build other layers on top such as LN hubs,
of which blockstream will run one or more... and collect revenue, as well as
build hubs for other companies and collect even more revenue.
(They will claim its all 'open source' make it as complicated and obfuscated as possible
to create a barrier to entry.)
There is no logic behind this statement because: 1) LN is Open Source; anyone can develop a version of it; 2) Anyone can run Hubs.
Their main source of revenue are supposed to be sidechains (IMO); LN has nothing to do with that. What do you think are the other developers since only 1 (paid) is working on LN? Another case of personal incredulity.
