No, DCG does not own Blockstream. Blockstream is no owned by anyone or corporation.
Blockstream is owned by the Digital Currency Group like they own Grayscale, Foundry USA and a bunch of other fascist American corporations from Texas and California.
You seem to imply that this soft fork is being thrust upon the community under some kind of threat. Yet clearly that is not the case. Taproot is something that many people want.
Exactly. Tell me how many people support it? I'm involved in Bitcoin since 2012 and until 2021 I did not even hear about "taproot".
There really isn't anything that such a conspiracy...
Are you sure?
Furthermore, while the idea of Taproot did originate at Blockstream, development of the idea and of the code itself involved many people, the vast majority of which work for companies other than Blockstream.
Oh, so now telling me taproot did originate at Blockstream? What companies the "people involved" works at the moment? I want to see a full list and all companies disclosed.
I'd love to if people would pay me to continue working on Bitcoin Core full time. Even so, Blockstream does not instruct me on what to implement into Core, or how to implement it.
You working on Bitcoin Core voluntary like Satoshi Nakamoto did, if you only interested in money before the community I suggest you go and fuckyourself.
Maybe suck up to the "Human Rights Foundation" scam from New York City which run by
Thor Halvorssen Mendoza the cousin of Leopoldo Lopez Mendoza. He and
Alex Gladstein the "STARTEGY OFFICER" literal neo-nazi propagandist terrorists who responsible for
burning people alive in Caracas, Venezuela and
massacres of indigenous people in Bolivia. Ask you buddy
midnightmagic how great to have a Washington D.C. registered corporation which massacres people scamming for Bitcoin since 2019.
For those who don't know, I'm the owner of the "Bitcoin Forum" at
https://bitcoin.forum and all this conversation is
recorded to show how
Bitcoin Core developers working with literal terrorists and to show that the majority if not all Bitcoin Core developers are Sinophobic, Russophibic, Islamophobic pigs based in the United States of America.
The new mantra is: China, Russia, Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Hong Kong, Belarus, China, Russia, Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Hong Kong, Belarus, China, Russia, Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Hong Kong, Belarus and if you don't agree we will bomb your entire country kill all your family massacre all your community and bring you democracy with Blockstreams of blood.
