I hope people on Hacker news doesn't get duped by all the toxic people dismissing BU and promoting Core. The facts are that r/Bitcoin and bitcointalk.org, both owned by theymos and a handful of other people, are paid by Blockstream to censor any dissident opinions. About the ongoing censorship, have a look to this article [1], which is a compilation of facts, it's very depressing. Up to a point where a second subreddit /r/btc full of banned people have almost half of the active user of /r/bitcoin, despite its relative young age.

Bitcoin core also organize troll campaigns [2], push for a radical, unwanted change of Bitcoin with SegWit, coordinate attack on nodes when a vulnerability is discovered [3], and spread FUD everyday, sometimes technical nonsens like this very non-issue that is ASICBOOST. Those people work fulltime to stole bitcoin from the community, thanks to the huge bank account of Blockstream, the company behind all this shit show.

At least this proove that Bitcoin rely on a very solid basis, because despite having 75 million in bank, blockstream opted to corrupt core developpers and community managers instead of competing for hashrate. But still, the situation is pretty bad right now.
