I would like to explain what is the most basic mistake people make when they take sides in this debate (for those that side with Bitcoin Core and Blockstream narrative)... they are not focusing on workings of the system, they are only focusing on irrelevant things that Bitcoin Core employees of Blockstream want them to focus on, which are the wrong things, much the same a magician uses pretty girls as distraction to focus on them while he does the trick and doesn't want you to focus on him.
Ask yourself this... lets say hard fork never happened, and blocks were increased as they were getting full as it was done few times before... would you have liked the Bitcoin system if all governments of the world said they will adopt it and create their own mining farms etc... would you all of a sudden say the system went from good to shit, and leave it, or would you be glad that they did this? Point being, the system would not change, it would still be working the same, only difference would be more mining farms, which would only spread out mining and it would be less concentrated (please note I used term Concentrated and not Centralised as they are not the same thing)
Well think about it... what I am trying to bring your attention to is the workings of the Bitcoin system, not the people behind it. This is how you can know if the coin you buy is worth while or not, if its a good system or not.
If you find something wrong or doggy with the workings of the system, then you should look into more detail, things such as, who are the people behind it. etc.
Please read the Bitcoin white paper to learn what Bitcoin system is about so you can make informed decision as to which one is the real Bitcoin system, and therefore the real Bitcoin:
