I know this is the internet age and anyone can believe anything - but the problem is simple. Bitcoin is at war with itself, unable to change to deliver a solution to a real problem and lacking leadership, and direction.
blah-blah-blah...
Bitcoin is at war with itself from day one. There will always be different groups that have conflicting agendas. That is the natural sate of every decentralized project.
Oh, and yes, "lack" of leadership is also good. Although, part of BUcoiners' arguments now is that Bitcoin is actually a Corecoin?!... So, is there a lack of leadership or there isn't?
There is a clear direction as well. Core team have a road map not from yesterday!
My point was simply that is is not a conspiracy, it is Bitcoin having problems within itself.
I have little respect for any sides in this battle, whether it be Core, or the likes of Roger Ver. I also struggle with people who think 'it's a black ops / conspiracy' and nothing is actually wrong with Bitcoin at all.
