Blockstream is a company founded by Adam Back in 2014. Behind this company is the multinational AXA, which has power over the Bitcoin (BTC) code repository. This company is mainly responsible for the changes we have seen in Bitcoin since 2014, it is said that Blockstream has changed the main route that the protocol had to have, not allowing it to scale correctly and implementing very controversial functions for the protocol such as Segwit or Replace by fee, or not wanting to expand the size of the Bitcoin transaction block, which gave rise to the block war in the Bitcoin ecosystem, many will wonder what AXA is doing financing Bitcoin, or what is Mastercard also doing behind Bitcoin financing it? Or we have also seen Blackrock join the ecosystem with its ETF and other companies, what interest would Mastercard have in financing what was a possible competitor like Bitcoin which could have put an end to this payment gateway? What do you think?
