Bitcoin (BTC) is the real and only Bitcoin, all the forks, bcash, bgold and so on are altcoins and should be called that too.
Is this in reference to your own opinion, or is it in reference to the opinions of the Core devs you are speaking of?
There can be good arguments made that Bitcoin Cash is indeed from an objective technical point of view "the Bitcoin", even if it is highly unpractical to call it so most of the time.
Accumulated PoW is not the only parameter necessary to the design, even if for sake of making definitions much easier I would love for that to have been the case.
It is my own opinion and to let you know I like both coins the one was the first and is Bitcoin (BTC) and the second one is the technical more advanced Bitcoin Cash (BCH) the best is they both made and will make me a ton of $ as other cryptocurrencies will do as well ;)
Have a nice day and thanks for all your information plus the flag on this one stupid comment from abdurrazzak562!
Thank you for being straightforward here at least.
It's quite obvious if you look into it that the other forks were made only as scam coins or to outright distract from the major forking event.
I really don't care how much money is made on either of them. I don't own any. But it pains me to see a social media campaign paint this as an easy choice, when in the past arguments have been made in the complete reverse to get away from on chain scaling or "miner centralization" etc.
That's why I answer. Because I can't stand that Roger, Jihan (a good guy actually) and fake Satoshi are becoming the only people whos contrarian opinions are -- at least to some vague degree, through regurgitated opposition to them -- widely known on this topic.
Here we go again. Very Wrong Ver -- and his enured followers are pretty mad that anyone would challenge their underhanded tactics.
The thrust of the lawsuit isn't just the use of the camped .com domain, but the way Very Wrong Ver uses deceptive naming tactics to dupe newbies into his personal ego-project. There were changes made in response to the lawsuit recently, (But since there are archives of the original, it doesn't matter), which indicates Very Wrong Ver is completely aware of his actions.
The whole reference to "Core" is a technique used to create artificial tribalisms and alliances. Bitcoin Core is a reference client, it runs on a users machine as a wallet interacting with the Blockchain. If Very Wrong Ver was going to use the same naming convention consistently, he'd refer to his project as "Bitcoin ABC" which is the client they currently have.
In any case, its just meant to sow discord and confusion. Much like a sleazy car salesmen, Very Wrong Ver hopes that the new user doesn't look too closely, and by the time they have asked him to send some "Bitcoin" -- they'll realize they only have the altfork BCH instead.
This is called fraud, in many countries and jurisdictions -- as Very Wrong Ver is about to find out.
What is interesting is that his devoted fans don't question his tactics - or if they do, they only dig in their heels when challenged -- because of the tribalism nature of his group dynamics and naming conventions.
It should be fascinating to see the narrative shatter, because Very Wrong Ver has a history of overstepping the bounds of the law, since technically he is an ex-convict.
BCH, BCash, whatever you call it -- is simply a vehicle for Very Wrong Ver to perpetuate his own schemes to enrich himself, exposing the worst side of humanity.
No, because Cash was already chosen as a differentiator. Using BitcoinABC ignores the fact that there is no official client, as there is in Bitcoin SL "Core".
That's the naming convention he's using.
Anyways, I'm done debating you today. It's not about Ver in the end. I'm not a "devoted fan",0 so maybe my criticism doesn't count? It's you guys who try to make it about him, Jihan, faketoshi or anyone else that's controversial so that you can guilt by association.
BCH is more than a simple pump and dump scam, as I'm sure anyone sensible in space who has followed this for a longer amount of time can agree by now.
I see you tried your own version of censoring by downvoting me -- how Very Wrong Ver of you.
If you were done, you wouldn't have replied :)
The basic facts are -- no transaction volume to speak of -- http://fork.lol/tx/txs
A liar for a spokesman/CEO that doesn't understand the legality of his fraudulent actions
And finally - legions of people who have been taken in by his erroneous arguments, encouraging him to attack Bitcoin through his ego-project.
How proud you must be.
If I change my mind, I'll keep replying.
I voted my opinion using my own personal stake on Steem. That's my right and certainly not very powerful "censorship", no matter how you slice it.
Nobody gets selectively banned from using Steem simply to motivate or demotivate opinions that some highly influential moderator has decided on and you can always review what happened on the actual blockchain.
I just find it hilarious that you're talking about censorship, but you turn around and do something hypocritical like that.
Is this something endemic to your thought processes?
Is this why Very Wrong Ver resonates with you so deeply?
I'd be more concerned that you identify with a known liar and cheat, instead of what I'm typing.
Not really seeing the hypocrisy... Did I ban you?
Playing the fool, I see.
You know exactly how the influence of a higher-ranked user works, and you exercise it.
But what else would I expect from someone who follows Very Wrong Ver's line of thinking.
Pathetic.
