Seriously though imagine the consequences if BU became the main chain, the price alone would drop so hard due to major bugs every week. Bitcoin is too valuable to let such joker's have their way.

reality check
bitcoin holders see that a brand crashed but network survived, giving hop/proof that their funds/assets are safe in a diverse network.

reality check
BU, xt, classic, nbitcoin(?maybe not), btcd, bitcoinj, and all the other implementations want a PEER NETWORK of diverse decentralisation on a single chain

reality check
"Seriously though imagine the consequences if blockstream became the only codebase, the price alone would drop so hard if there was a bug in the only codebase. Bitcoin is too valuable to let such joker's have their way."
FTFY
hope this opens your mind to why diversity=good vs blockstream control=bad... rather than the opposite

P.S i have made no insults but i predict my post would get deleted as it does not fit the propaganda of REKTing anything not blockstream endorsed.

The issue here is that we have BU who is actively trying to discredit core and take over as the mainchain and actively has bugs on their live "production ready" software. The what ifs with core are just that but currently BU has a terrible track record and has essentially vile people behind it like Jihan Wu who has talked about attacking competing chains and mines empty blocks during backlogged transactions.
