Wow..... they can piss off, lying about non existent problems in Segwit, and getting you to install a Trojan Horse (BTC1) to fix it. |

Be advised, BCash shitcoiners are beginning their drive by.

The satellite allows those people to also be able to get the Blockstream's approved version of the blockchain (well part of it, only new blocks right now)
FTFA So what? I don't exactly see Ver/Wu/Wright et al building out any satellite capabilities for BCash. Compete or get left in the dust. So what? So I am just pointing out that use of this completely countermands the entire ' lots of non-mining, fully-validating nodes are useful to the network as a whole' narrative. I didn't say anything about BCash - neither about Bitcoin Cash, which is what I assume you meant (BCash is an entirely different project based upon zk-snarks). I have no complaint about Blockstream broadcasting their blockchain via satellite. More power to them. I'm sure some will find it useful. And I have no unease regarding the trends in regards to the competition of Bitcoin Segwit vs Bitcoin Cash. |

If you haven't got $100 million to spend on supporting this nascent decentralised network with a broadcast satellite network you should just piss off? amirite?
There is nothing decentralized about a single sanitized version of the chain. |

They're deceiving their users. That's borderline fraud is it not? |

Reading about how the "real" hard fork happening in November really makes those who sold too early makes me tingle inside.  |

There are even free phone apps where you can just ping the metal and the microphone picks it up and tells you if it's real .999 silver by the resonance.
That sounds fantastic. What apps do this? |

Some of you are talking about BTC at 50K$ or even 500K$, and this relatively quickly.
It looks great on paper, but aren't you worried that instead of meaning we would all be rich, it would mean the dollar has utterly crashed, the world economy is in shambles, and/or WW3 is going on ?
No. Since there are trillions invested at negative rates or so, the potential that some significant fraction of it smells the coffee and moves in crypto is just a matter of when, not if. That would make an epochal pumping like no one has ever seen. The mystery for me is why BTC still rules, given that there are technically better alternatives, and given that even I can see some feeble points (no incentives for full nodes to say just one). |

There is nothing decentralized about a single sanitized version of the chain. How would that be possible? in any meaningful way the chain is the chain.....right? (genuine question) |

First Mover Advantage (and Bitcoin had a 'clean' start instead of being an ICO). |

Probably not. There are scads of industrial blockchain projects underway that have nothing whatsoever to do with monetary applications. |
