Blockstream was successful at discouraging regular people from using Bitcoin as money.They were able to buy enough channels and news outlets, in order to spread the 'hodl' and 'digital gold' and 'full node' narratives
which convinced a lot of ppl that it is a speculation for geeks, and not New Money. Had, on the other hand, enough people realized they could use BTC as-is, BS would have had no future
