They are trying to push their technologically flawed Side chains in through the back door. You've made this claim before. But BTCC is all over Liquid. It's a working sidechain. How do you explain that?

You've made this claim before. But BTCC is all over Liquid. It's a working sidechain. How do you explain that?
BTCC is very excited to be working with Blockstream to roll-out this innovative application of sidechain technology. Liquid is both a practical application of sidechains that allows us to provide nearly instantaneous global interexchange transfers for our users, as well as a major technical milestone that showcases the adaptability of Bitcoin. (Samson Mow, COO of BTCC)
[...] its like a sinking ship increases the value of all other ships or something.
That should be the mission statement.
But wait! There's more:
“From girls in Afghanistan to banks in the United States,” said Jalak Jobanputra of Future\Perfect Ventures, “Blockstream’s proposed infrastructure will create a trustless ledger of assets and transactions that will provide a more efficient market than what currently exists. Even more importantly the technology will provide access to services and documentation for billions of people who are underbanked or underserved by current transactional systems.”

You know I’m very grateful to out centralized planning team and their road-map, it lays out a path to get miners to execute many new features in the bitcoin code that they run for free.
My favorites are all the new features that enable the Lighting Network to take transaction volume off the blockchain thus reducing the fees paid to miners. It’s particularly cunning as the miners will run the code for you and the Lighting Hubs will collect extra fees.
The genius is actually convincing the network of miners to do it. I’m thrilled to see Adam talk about one of the first features called Segregated Whiteness as a 2MB Soft Fork increase. Where native bitcoin transaction capacity is reduced to accommodate new more complicated Lightning network transactions.
Keep up the good work Blockstream, I know your dabbling with new economic incentives and constructs, and I’m thrilled you have the code mechanics peer reviewed, and very excited to see you don’t bother modelling or discussing the economic implications, that's like building a foundation in a bog and who wants that type of problem.
It’s as if bitcoin’s value is increasing by magic not some underlying incentive construct that creates economic value, I love your growth projections its like bitcoin can't be stopped, its like a sinking ship increases teh value of all other ships or something.

Is Moneta one of the private companies working with Blockstream?
"To my mind, Zerocoin and Zerocash are the low-hanging fruit of sidechains. Just transfer your bitcoin to a sidechain that implements one of those protocols, and voila, instant Bitcoin anonymity; you can send or receive money while maintaining mathematically perfect privacy."
Is it associated with XMR?
I dunno. (It's private.)

The vision of the Moneta project is to help significantly advance Bitcoin technology as a sidechain. As a sidechain, we want to help people realize that it’s possible to make Bitcoin lightning-fast, far more private, and far more scalable. For example, people often think that Bitcoin is limited to 7 transactions per second and can never compete with Visa. With some changes to the protocol, we can increase that number one-hundred fold. Also, with increased scalability comes decreased transaction fees. Think of all the new marketplaces and behaviors that can arise if we can decrease Bitcoin’s transaction fees from the magnitude of cents to the magnitude of hundredths of a cent … We hope to convey that Bitcoin’s underlying protocol can in fact be advanced significantly — not just marginal improvements, but 10x or 100x improvements.

Dude, don't be freakin' me out like that!
Thank you again (Gleb Gamow). Your fear has been registered and forwarded to the nearest Blockstream vortex of despair for use in the nightmares of small refugee children orphaned by war.

What could a company like PwC hope to gain from partnering with a small startup that has recently re-branded Bitcoin and taken control of it’s reference implementation?

What the hell did you just say about me, you little bloatcoiner? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in cryptography, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret missions for BlockstreamTM, and I have over 300 confirmed microbits. I am trained in crypto and I’m the top cryptographer at BlockstreamTM. You are nothing to me but just another bloatcoiner. I will wipe the bloat out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this forum, mark my words. You think you can get away with saying that to me over the interwebs? Think again, bloatcoiner. As we speak I am contacting my coder network of coders across various social medias and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the BlockstreamTM. The stream that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re crippled, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can cripple bloat in over seven hundred languages. Not only am I extensively trained in crippling bloat, but I have access to the entire BlockstreamTM arsenal and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable bloat boat off the face of the continent. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “heil” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your bloated tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price. I will stream fury all over you and you will drown in it.

If XT succeed, I will wave goodbye to Bitcoin. Thank you for saving us from a benevolent dictator and IP Blocking and Blacklisting of coins and tx reversals. If we wanted that, we would all be using PayPal. Your next task will be to up the Block size a little, even if it is only to counter the Bitcoin Classic attempt at gaining consensus with their proposal.
Keep up the good work and ignore the FUD. ^smile^

If Bitcoin Classic succeeds, will it wave good bye to bitcoin. If the only difference between Bitcoin Classic and Core is the 2MB block size, will you support it?
