Call me tin-foil hat, but to me it's also an indirect attack on #Bitcoin If we aren't free to exchange ideas, thoughts and commerce and what is acceptable is decided by a committee, we are going down a slippery slope or perhaps we already went down that slope?
I think their reasoning has to do with Apple Pay/30% cut they take as they have something planned and they don't want alternatives to flourish or at least giving people the idea that Bitcoin is more than just a valuable asset but also a medium of exchange to pay for things cheaply using the Lightning Network. This tweet below is what I'm worried about and why they might be doing this.
