Can you think of any BTC maxis who dislike Blockstream?

Lots of BSV fans who dislike CAAL.

Plenty of BCH fans who dislike Amaury and/or Roger.

Interesting that the one with the most cypherpunk rhetoric seems the most leader trusting. (ETH too).

Think for a second why that dynamic exists.

Couple of things here imo: It's weird so few maxis want multiple implementations (I do, for decentralization). Voskuil does as well. Also, I can be quite neutral about the company yet still think it despicable so few there spoke up against censorship.

If the company itself has engaged in censorship, lawsuits etc, I wouldn't support that obviously, but I don't know if that's been relegated to certain individuals or not. What I do remember is I ran a BU node back in the days because I was pissed.

cobra bitcoin hates blockstream for the most basic of anti big business reasons

Twetch ·

Yeah he's an exception, though he's very hard to peg. Says he's a big blocker, but very jekyl/hyde thing with that one. Always has an angle it seems.

But he does seem to hate any big business.

what makes cobra different in my humble opinion is his relative lack of education and taste for edgy shitposts

I'm not sure the Cobra account is or has always been the same person

somewhere i have a bunch of chat logs with cobra from '17 '18 if there is any other logs to compare them to
