Who else is sick of these so-called Blockchain based companies? They call themselves Bithub, but they not directly connected with Bitcoin. These

companies are not willing to use the word "Bitcoin" in their vision and they want us to support them. I also see BitPesa lost round one in their battle to

take Bitcoin to the streets of Africa. The big companies are backing their own centralized technologies and electronic currencies and pushing out the

competition with dirty tactics. {M-Pesa} .... What's up with this domain name ==> http://bithub.co.ke/ {coke = cocaine or coca cola?}
