all of this
"forking(splitting) the chain is a control attempt"
but then
"they need to fork(split) off"
lol makes me laugh at the hypocrisy and the bait and switch just to play a failed victim card.
the thing is the community wont split away..
they laughed at blockstreams CTO when he begged the open community to split away.
the community want consensus no matter what side it is.
however the group in the
blockstream/DCG corps pockets know they cant incorporate bitcoin if bitcoin is left open to diverse nodes, so they want all the diverse nodes to fork(split) off.
thats why there has been soo many rekt campaigns against anything not in the blockstream/DCG corps pockets.
the only group willing to cause a split is the blockstream/DCG group. but they have to wait for majority to do it if they want any chance of incorporating bitcoin. to then have domination and control of who can take fee's to repay the VC's.
bitcoin should remain open and diverse PEER network, not changed to be incorporated and TIERED network. there are even some [true independent] core devs that are repulsed by corporations and not everyone in core actually like the corporate dominance plans.
its getting too obvious that the corporations are getting desperate when they are begging the independant community to split away. and the corporations are doing all they can to avoid community consensus with all these non community consensus 'soft' bips that have actual banning(splitting off) end results.
there is nothing stopping the corporations from making an LN right now, but they know that people will only see it as a voluntary side service if the community help bitcoin grow.. the corporations want bitcoin stagnant to make their LN essential to grab many fes's to repay the MILLIONS of debt(blckstreams $70m/DCG multimillion debt).
if you are actually advocating to follow the corporations then you are not thinking about bitcoin. your thinking about corporations control. so you might aswell just go play around with fiat or hyperledger and leave bitcoin to be an open currency.
atleast admit you care more about the corporate control to grab fee's for VC repayment. and then go play with hyperldger to go grab your fee's, leave bitcoin to be the open diverse currency that it suppose to be
