I think the argument is finished. It is now clear that Blockstream won't be able to take over the blockchain to run their proprietary (patented) bullshit and pay back their $70 million to AXA.
I am confused, isn't Asicboost the patented bullshit? Is Blockstream supporting BU? I thought it was the other way round? I need some sleep.
