Blockstream is so awesome -- like, the canonical company doing all the good things in the ecosystem, at so many layers! Would love to see more terrestrial redundancy built out, e.g., mesh network stuff.

I don't really know how they actually make any money, though. Does anybody know? Presumably Back and others in leadership had a shit-ton of btc from the old days that they sold over time at a zillion-fold profit (this is all conjecture, but seems likely). But aside from that, is it just hardware sales? I assume Liquid is not actually generating non-trivial revenue for them.
