I agree that the Bitcoin Unlimited client is pretty great.<p>In the end, it might not be enough. Ever since BlockStream poached so many Bitcoin developers with commit access and ran off the others, they&#x27;ve decided that their business model will be to change the Bitcoin protocol to be the plumbing of their commercial offerings.<p>Why they didn&#x27;t fork and just build their own private change like all the other upcoming bank blockchains is beyond me.<p>They&#x27;ve stated that their goal is that Bitcoin become the settlement layer for their &quot;Lightning Network&quot; and drive away all use through increased transaction fees.<p>I&#x27;m personally a Bitcoin believer and it&#x27;s disheartening.
