lol, I know a little bit about Ver, don’t know who the guy is. But people in this market really need to get their shit together. Especially as we see big money pouring into this market. This is just embarrassing for everyone. Unfortunately today, most of the people who are "experts" on this subject are massive trolls, extremely untrustworthy and are HUUUGGGEE turn off for people who actually have money and can fund projects. This really need to change ASAP.
In US everyone is happy as long as all the prices are rising. Unless its crude oil - Marc Faber

I dont get it Lucky have you not read above? I said I dont give a shit about Roger Ver. I reckon he is a cool dude but I dont care about him ok?????? I dont care if Bitcoin cash succeds or not either. My main wish is that Blockstream gets analed in the butt everyday by the bankers when the bilderbergers ask them to explain WTF they are doing
yeah but you ate the anti core propaganda. that's roger and jihan.

dude get it right, I am PRO-TECHNOLOGY. My understanding is that BITCOIN has taken a wrong path because the bankers are controlling it. So I just move on and support many other Blockchain technologies out there.

I will post this again, These are the main reasons, please tell me this is actually positive for bitcoin:
Blockstream Sponsors (including AXA): https://www.blockstream.com/about/#investors
Blockstream is proud to be working with leading investors from Asia, Europe and North America, including alphabetically AME Cloud Ventures, AXA Strategic Ventures, Blockchain Capital, Digital Currency Group, Digital Garage, FuturePerfect Ventures, Horizons Ventures, Innovation Endeavors, Khosla Ventures, Mosaic Ventures, Real Ventures, Reid Hoffman, and Seven Seas Venture Partners.
DCG (Digital Currency Group) is the company invested into blockstream (http://dcg.co/portfolio/). The CEO of DCG is Barry Silbert, a former investment banker, and Mastercard is an investor in DCG.
Three board members are listed, and one Board "Advisor." Three of the four Members/advisors are particularly interesting:
Glenn Hutchins: Former Advisor to President Clinton. Hutchins sits on the board of The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, where he was reelected as a Class B director for a three-year term ending December 31, 2018.
Barry Silbert: CEO of DCG (Digital Currency Group, funded by Mastercard) who is also an Ex investment Banker at (Houlihan Lokey)
And then there's the "Board Advisor,"
Lawrence H. Summers:
"Chief Economist at the World Bank from 1991 to 1993. In 1993, Summers was appointed Undersecretary for International Affairs of the United States Department of the Treasury under the Clinton Administration. In 1995, he was promoted to Deputy Secretary of the Treasury under his long-time political mentor Robert Rubin. In 1999, he succeeded Rubin as Secretary of the Treasury. While working for the Clinton administration Summers played a leading role in the American response to the 1994 economic crisis in Mexico, the 1997 Asian financial crisis, and the Russian financial crisis. He was also influential in the American advised privatization of the economies of the post-Soviet states, and in the deregulation of the U.S financial system, including the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act."
but you do know the community has to come to consensus in order to run new features, upgrades or whatnot the developers are proposing right? it just happened that core are the smartest people in the room, so the community follows them.
same reason why segwit2x was dropped.
