Greg Maxwell, CTO of Blockstream Has Resigned

Scanning through Twitter this morning for crypto news, I was shocked to find out that Blockstream CTO, Greg Maxwell has resigned from Blockstream, the company he co-founded.

I received this news from one of my favorite people on Twitter to follow, Mr. Scatman, a visionary artist and all around interesting person who has been following the Bitcoin split with passion:

Twitter: https://twitter.com/bsmith12251960

Read Greg Maxwell's official resignation here, from his Linux blog:

https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2018-January/015586.html

I was shocked that Greg Maxwell resigned in November, but Blockstream didn't release the news until today, on their blog. The most obviously bizarre thing in all of this is that Greg is resigning from Blockstream because he wants to focus more on Bitcoin development......WHAT? Well, if you've been noticing, and if you've been paying attention, Blockstream was funded by big corporate investors, and as you know how this goes, they want a return on their investment. If you have not educated yourself about the future of Lightning Network, and what that entails, and how Blockstream intends to create profits from their sidechains, then you have a lot to learn. This resignation points to the cracks in Blockstream's plan, and it shows that they are not really interested in creating a peer-to-peer cash system. Maxwell states this pretty clearly, with the fact that he finds it incompatible to be employed by Blockstream and work on developing Bitcoin at the same time. It's almost an oxymoronic statement, just think about this for a second.

To read further, take a look at the official announcement from Blockstream's Blog:

https://blockstream.com/2018/01/19/blockstream-bids-farewell-to-gregory-maxwell.html

# It looks like the cracks are really beginning to form, as we see the true intent of Blockstream: profit at any cost, even destroying the original vision of Bitcoin.

We can see that governance systems are crucial to the long-term health of cryptocurrency. That's why a lot of my focus has been on coins which include governance systems like EOS, Dash and others. Humans are unwieldy, and even though I like the idea of complete freedom, I see the need for some kind of structure that binds us together in a sensible way. I think Steem is really showing signs of growth in the right direction, as more and more people in here form groups that they can help grow and sustain. I'll take a Berniesanders vs. Haejin fight any day over the hell that broke up the Bitcoin chain. Fighting will always be something that exists in Steem, and even though no good solution currently exists to create some harmony there, I think it is not of a nature to break up the blockchain. 

There you have it. I wonder who will replace Greg Maxwell? Any guesses?

@stellabelle 
Thanks for this post. For some days now we have how bad the trade line has been in the cryptoworld/market. The resignation of the CTO has impact negatively and we can see it clearly.

The revealing of this by Blockstream shows that it is political. As such this is not good for everyone in the cryptoworld as it is believed to be decentralised.

Well, we hope to see a bounce back soon and all things back to normal.

Thank you for this information it is educating.

There is alot behind the scenes, Bitcoin has some hurdles ahead, I think by now most people know its not as decentralized as we think and as the players get bigger in the game and with money flowing in, some folks would move away...I think he can use his talents to help birth some talents into the Bitcoin ecosystem, there is so much politics, I am sure a certain camp is rejoicing

>Scanning through Twitter this morning for crypto news, I was shocked to find out that Blockstream CTO, Greg Maxwell has resigned from Blockstream, the company he co-founded.

Well, he knows that Blockstream have destroyed bitcoin and so he decided to quit.
Blockstream totally changed the idealogy of Bitcoin for selfish reasons.

Thanks to Bitcoin Cash (which is the real bitcoin in anyway)

>The most obviously bizarre thing in all of this is that Greg is resigning from Blockstream because he wants to focus more on Bitcoin.

He wants to focus more on the real Bitcoin - Bitcoin Cash and not Bitcoin Core.

***
Sadly, I hope all the Bitcoin Core fans see this signs on the wall and take the right decision.

Advice: Don't let greed cloud your judgement.

Remember what made you to love bitcoin and why that thing has suddenly changed because of Blockstream 

## Happy Steeming

Bitcoin Core, Bitcoin Segwit, call it whatever you want, but the fact remains that it is the REAL Bitcoin.  The decntralized community of users decided this with UASF and NO2X last year.  BCash is a Chinese knock-off scam of the real Bitcoin which attempts to subvert the real Bitcoin and steal its name.  Blockstream didn't destroy Bitcoin (which is a fallacy itself), because it was never theirs to destroy, and they have never had the power over Bitcoin that the haters claim.

Increasing block sizes is not a sustainable solution. It only makes the system more centralized in the long run.  8mb is okay but as the block size gets bigger and bigger, it becomes harder to sustain full nodes and as a result number of people who have full nodes decrease. So no, making block sizes bigger is the easy way to go but not the ultimate solution. If you are in for a centralized solution keep supporting Bitcoin Cash.

I've been following lots of the Bitcoin core development. This will really open a can of worms. It's a huge can of worms. Hopefully people will soon realize what is going on. That the conspiracy theories are true.

To me, i believe Greg Maxwell has reasons for his resignation from blockstream. Like he earlier said, he wants to major in one part of cryptocurrency, which is bitcoin. Well i wish him goodluck in his decision.  As for his replacement in blockstream, hmmm... only time will tell. Or what do you think? @stellabelle

I was extreme shocked myself,  but if he decides to focus on bitcoin development,  I feel it's his choice but I just hope blockstream is in better hands else we wouldn't know what would happen next.

I see the BCash shills have made the "Blockstream runs Bitcoin" meme stick on Steemit.

They contribute less than 2% to the Bitcoin project. Its all there, on github stats.

But who needs to let pesky facts get in the way of a juicy "viral" story about Greg Maxwell?

I've talked to Greg, and he'll keep contributing just as he always has. If you believe the Blockstream FUD stories, you're not seeing the whole picture.

Back to the drama thread already in progress....
