Arguably this patent’s very existence, ammendment or not ammendment, is somewhat counterintuitive to what bitcoin is supposed to be.
I definently agree that theres a lot of problems stemming from people’s inability to differentiate betweein Bitcoin (the payment net work) and bitcoin (the currency). I definently think the BTC is obviously and always will be the real bitcoin, but you are right that legally handing over full control of the brand to the core team like this does seem problematic.
