PWC has no investment in Blockstream or anything to do with investment in Blockstream. (Not that it would matter if they did), AFAIK no bank has any investment in Blockstream-- though they might be wise to, to the extent that the technology we work on might displace some of their businesses they'd be wise to want to figure out how to adapt to it.

But really, most groups that might be displaced by Bitcoin simply can't see it coming-- if they weren't blind to the reasons it would displace them they wouldn't likely be displaced. There is no reason that any ordinary bank today couldn't quite profitably adapt to an all Bitcoin world.

Yes... I agree about one thing, and that is that you are quite the FUCD spreader.


I am not taking any kind of blind faith about anything, and I don't claim to be any kind of know it all about these matters. 

Nonetheless, it seems that in your attempts to have fun with your fantastical lillie conspiracy framework, there are at least a few facts of the matter that you seem to be either discounting or assuming away in your convolution of issues.

1) Anyone or group is free to develop or to invest however they like on systems that they believe are going to work with bitcoin in the future (and they take risks that they may not be correct in their predictions or their abilities to influence changes in their favor or that the system may change), whether that is Blockstream or anyone else.. .or any bank affiliation etc.;

2) anyone who is wanting to change the status quo of bitcoin has the burden of persuasion and the burden of production to convince that such change should be adopted, and neither XT nor classic were able to obtain various changes in the bitcoin protocol (at least not in a direct and immediate way) that were within their BIPs because there was not adequate support for whatever they were proposing; and

3) bitcoin remains a good investment for the moment.  If it converts into something other than what i expected or something other than what others  expected, then each person is free to change investments... so if it begins to appear that something is awry, then I have no problem migrating my investment somewhere else, and at this time, your apparent fantastical observations are considerably insufficient to influence me, and probably should be insufficient to influence anyone who is somewhat knowledgeable about disinformation fearmongering speculation campaigns such as yours.

Replying to irrelevant people on an irrelevant forum again Franky? Can you explain why talking to people you consider unimportant is so important to you?

look into price-waterhouse-cooper... oh wait you wont because you will blindly follow blockstream..

goodluck with that.

and if you think that the $55million that PwC gave to blockstream was not from banks.. and the intention for the funds will have nothing to do with bitcoin developers. or if you think that only adam back gets to use the funds all to himself completely separate from bitcoin... then you really have been drinking the blockstream coolaid.

goodluck trying to meander your faith around PwC.. trying to pretend they are a meaningless shadow..

Great! A comedian. Just what we need.


balance?
