People really need to learn way more about btc, and thats really evident with the fud that they write/post about king btc. Yes it is true that big companies like blockstream or whatever can launch whatever, but please everyone try to realize what makes btc #1 for the world- "its open source" and that means that anyone can use these companies or develop their own, the choice is all up to us and thats why there are so many secretly bank backed alt-coins like bcash trying to take our freedoms from the ball and chains. Slow or high transactions are the results of greed from these companies so if we dont like them lets be patient until the futre non-greedy programers, developers, and companies enter the btc space and add to the freedom that satoshi started.
