^ defending blockstream yet again ^
It's not blockstream, it's the entire centralized system.
- First it was Satoshi (with his flawed paper)
- Then the MT Gox incident
- Then it was the MIT influence with the devs
- Then it was the Bitcoin Foundation corruption allegations
- Then it was the countless centralized exchange hacks.
- Then it was the mining power centralization in 1 geopolitical region.
- And now it's Blockstream OR Bitcoin Unlimited (both centralized).
Do you see the pattern? Don't you get it, it's not 1 instance, it's the entire path that Bitcoin took.
It's centralization, in whatever form it is today. You claim Blockstream is the problem, but maybe in 5-10 years it will be another company.
Regardless, the route BTC is taking is not the correct one.
Centralization will destroy Bitcoin.
