I do have respect for them and the work they've put towards Bitcoin, that's why I hate what Blockstream is doing to it and what it is becoming.
and tell me what % work for Blockstream.
As I've stated I haven't followed it that precisely, but according to this
it seems like that % is getting bigger each day if they keep kicking developers for no reason.
Look at this table of core developers support for the various scaling paths (segwit2X = bigger block) https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Segwit_support
What? How does that not make it more clear that most are working for Core (which most developers have been co-opted by Blockstream) and are not supporting segwit2x which Bitpay is and are now being threatened by Core because of it.

This is what I found on wikipedia:
Blockstream is one of the largest contributors of funding for Bitcoin Core
Since my story ended at that part yet you quoted the last part, did you miss the part about the patents? Even though it seems like they aren't directly patenting Segwit they seem to want to patent the sidechain which enables Segwit.
I did share this post on Reddit and the main point was to prove how censorship resistant it is even if it gets flagged to 0 it will still be visible and people can comment and post on it. Its not like I care that much about Bitcoin anymore, if it wasn't for these Core developers it would probably be at 20k right now and still have 90% dominance instead of letting all so called shitcoins eat up on its marketcap day after day because its literally unusable for leading companies like Bitpay due to its fees and confirmation time.
