r/btc was created long before Bitcoin Cash, as an uncensorable alternative to r/bitcoin, which is extremely censored.
Bitcoin Cash was created because Bitcoin didn't scale, not because of technical reasons. Instead they used a massive social engineering campaign (censorship, trolls and fake news) to block the development. Roger wasn't even involved in BCH back then.
This can be verified by anyone who cares to, and you'll see that the parent is still forwarding the same troll narrative.
They use newspeak with terms like "bcash" to try to distance Bitcoin Cash from Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin Cash is proof that their arguments against "big blocks" and the impossibility of hard forks were, and are, bullshit.
- gerikson 7y agoI actually don't have a bone in this fight. I am critical of Bitcoin and BCH in equal measure because I don't agree with their view on how money works. I do respect people in both projects for being intellectually honest about their work and goals. I have unmitigated contempt for Bitcoin SV and the shills who promote it (and am disappointed in those I used to respect who've hitched their wagons to it), but I do appreciate the entertainment value of following the drama.
- lawn 7y agoYes, it just shows how effective the misinformation campaign has been. If you haven't followed the events closely it's easy to get the wrong idea. Being critical to Bitcoin as money is of course fine. I can join in on your contempt for BSV though.
