No one in /r/btc or the Bitcoin Cash community calls it 'bcash'. Totally disingenuous.

  That's not true, there's a handful of people that now want to call it BCash just because it annoys Roger Ver. People in /r/btc that support it. Just because they want to annoy Roger Ver does not mean that they aren't a part of the community anymore and it doesn't mean that they oppose it. But as it were I'm not suggesting that the majority are calling it anything other than "Bitcoin Cash" for months now. I'm just pointing out that when Bitcoin ABC was new members of /r/btc were pointing out how that name was confusing and that is where BitCash and BCash were originally coined. Go to /r/btc and look at the posts from back then if you don't believe me, people were posting about coming up with a better name. Those posts weren't just some Bitcoin Project conspiracy, they were from members of the community that wanted a better name. Personally, I don't care what they want to do. They are free to come up with whatever cryptocurrency floats their boat and it doesn't bother me in the slightest. However, the fact that it annoys Roger Ver makes me really want to refer to it as BCash.

    No that's a lie. No one on /r/btc supports that name. It's official name is Bitcoin Cash by its supporters.

    I had to look it up, because as an outsider this argument is surreal to me. And sure enough, if you go in /r/btc and perform a search for the term “bcash”, there are pages of results that show the community at large generally hates the term. Seems a little extreme to me but it is what it is, I guess.

      I totally agree with that, I'm not trying to claim that the community as a whole currently likes or supports the name BCash, just that it wasn't "the other side" that originally came up with it like so many people claim.
