And who are the people behind Blockstream?
Reid Hoffman / Co-Founder of LinkedIn
Vinod Khosla / Founder of Sun Microsystems
Eric Schmidt / Google
Jerry Yang / Yahoo Founder
also.. Nicolas Berggruen, Crypto Currency Partners, Future\Perfect Ventures, Danny Hillis, Max Levchin, Mosaic Ventures, Ray Ozzie, Ribbit Capital... and others.
There are big corporate interests behind both Blockstream and some of the companies that support Classic.
WHO CARES PEOPLE.
I'm sick of these forum idiots and conspiracy theories that
think there's some grand plan to "infiltrate Bitcoin by the banksters" etc...
Yes conspiracies are sometimes real but not everything
is a conspiracy.
The world is usually much simpler than that. Everyone is out for
themselves to make a buck. That's how business works.
In fact, pretty much everyone in the world is concerned
with their own agenda.
Blockstream is NO DIFFERENT in that regard. They
want to "scale" Bitcoin THEIR WAY that suits their
interests.
I really don't understand why some people can't
get that through their head.
In Africa, when a flock of ostriches sees a pride of lions coming to eat them, they just stick their heads down in the sand and POOF!
The lions just magically disappear.
