The Bilderberg Group represents the banking & political elite.

The Bilderberg Group funded Blockstream (which does the programming for Bitcoin BTC). On February 3rd, 2016, AXA invested $55 million in Blockstream. At the time of that investment, Henri de Castries was the head of both AXA and Bilderberg Group.

Blockstream crippled Bitcoin BTC with high fees, so that people will have to use the Lightning Network (a Blockstream project) for everyday transactions.
Result: The Bilderberg Group, the Federal Reserve central bank, MasterCard, and traditional banking sector have taken over Bitcoin BTC, crippled it, to turn it into a currency system that they control & profit from.
Analysis: Bitcoin BTC has been compromised. Time to switch to another cryptocurrency.

The Lightning Network isn't a Blockstream project, it's open source with multiple implementations (LND, C-lightning, Eclair, etc). There's no way for Blockstream to monetize it regardless.
The entire conspiracy theory doesn't have internal consistency or hold up to the slightest scrutiny. But then again, what would you expect from the fucking BCH morons whose coin lost 75%+ of its value vs BTC since they forked a year and a half ago XD :) :) :P
His thread almost made me believe it until you cleared it up

Focus has it right.
But really, no one owns enough of bitcoin to really control the whole system. It's going to take a lot of coordination of centralized adversaries to attempt to take it down, and there would still likely remain a useable fork somewhere. Be critical of anyone proposing that BTC or blockchain systems like it can be controlled so simply. The same goes for the commits that go into the development.
