It's an abbreviation. Bitcoin Cash = Bcash/BCH. This acronym is not confusable with Bitcoin or the BTC acronym at all.
Why is this considered remotely offensive? People are incredibly reactive to this and I don't understand why. It's a pretty straightforward mechanism of acronyms that has been going on for hundreds of years.
Why is this actually considered a serious point of discussion, at all?
- ericb 9y agoGreat to hear your thoughts on this, pmd. You don't mind if I call you that? Oh, you do? Well I'm going to anyway.
- paulmd 9y agoI don't at all. Is using an abbreviation supposed to be insulting somehow? (and the thing is, it's not even the bcash people who are bothered by the term - it's the BTC people! it's like you got insulted when someone recognized me enough to call me PMD... which is what I suspect it comes down to.)
