Yeah... acquiring others is another big trick of the globalists... Generally, it shouldn't be the problem if they acquire a company to develop it more, but it is usually like JS and STEEM, buy the company to milk everything usefull from it and maybe integrate some in their product...
By doing that, the progress is slowing down... It happened in the past with a lot of things in different industries... I know IT hardware examples very well from my personal experience, but there are a lot of examples...
Thanks for pointing out that important piece of the puzzle...
