- to take over the development and derail it from what it was supposed to be, 2. to divide and conquer, 3. to throw sand in the gears constantly until people lose faith in it.
So far 1. has been perfectly executed with the aid of Blockstream and nChain was an attempt to repeat that success using similar methods. The fact there's a "lunatic" Mr. Evil guy who spams Twitter doesn't mean he isn't trying to accomplish the same thing Blockstream did but this time using hash power. The goals are the same this time as in the previous time: either to create a new fork further dividing the hashrate, or to take over development and derail the project into a permissioned product resembling more Ripple.
You can't kill Bitcoin, but you can definitely make it into something shitty or at least a lot more manageable - just in case it'll be useful some day - and all you have to do is to convince people to use a different protocol than they do.
