Again, these are lies from Gregory Maxwell (Blockstream CTO). Please provide details on funding. Specifically, how much AXA paid? "A couple people out of a community of around 50-200 depending on the phase of the moon." Again a lie. The top Core devs are Blockstream employees. Blockstream has created a toxic environment and a huge ivory tower. "Uh. You know that Bitcoin is a decenteralized system that no one controls; right? We do a lot of fixes, but we're not your personal code monkies. There is a LOT going on in Bitcoin, and it's working pretty darn well at the moment." Meanwhile 80%+ of the hasrate is concentrated in a single country and in the hands of a handful of entities. Ironically, Blockstream goes graet lengths to exploit this (HK roundtable farce). "Via our magical mind control rays, I suppose? Blockstream doesn't control or influence any forums." People associated with BlockstreamCore support censored and manipulated forums, interestingly owned by a single individual (theymos) Gregory, you are the most pathetic individual in the Bitcoin space.
