Are you suggesting that somehow the Blockstream satellite broadcast of the chain will overrun and ACTUALLY  FOR REAL  take over the network/ BTC chain  i.e the longest running chain with the majority of hash power? and somehow subvert it to essentially BlockstreamCoin ?

Not at all. I am suggesting that this action of broadcasting this sequence of blocks that is completely free of even being passed through any non mining nodes, as if it were the One True Chain, exposes that the narrative that non mining fully validating nodes are central to the security of the network, is unmitigated bullshit.

With this, blockstream dashes the myth of the power of the Raspberry Pi.

The entire rationale behind cripplecoin has been ejected by its most ardent adherents.
