You do realize, that the Segwit2x client is mainly built by Jeff Garzik and has also some commits/reviews from Gavin Andresen?

You do realize that these guys built the clients for XT, Classic, and Unlimited as well?
All they do is the same just under another name!

You do realize, that these guys built the original BitcoinQt, which was the basis for Core, as well?
By the way: Jeff Garzik has a lot of code also in the linux kernel. So if you don't trust him, good luck with Microsoft/Apple. But yeah, I guess, that's the main problem here: You are trusting large corporations more than voluntary open development. Why do you even use Bitcoin?! There have been large corporations providing financial services around for years, you know?

You do realize that I can't trust a person that opposed translation of BitcoinQt UI in Farsi language because US gov introduced sanctions against Iran!

Can you explain to me, why you think that Blockstream has to fear less issues with the US government than single individuals around the globe?

Blockstream has to fear not less, but more issues with US gov. And thats good! Blockstream is the best that is left of the cypherpunk movement and companies like Cygnus Solutions.

BTW, US gov is a very broad term. There are all different kinds of people there. Certainly, there are such that do not approve the coup d'état that took place during the fall of 2008 in US.
