The mods at /r/bitcoin are now deleting every post that mentions the existence of the "other" implementation of bitcoin, whatever the contents. Dozens of posts that had hundreds of upvotes and hundreds of comments. And banning users who defend it, too.
So much for the great age of freedom and stuff that bitcoin was going to bring.
Oh, and the bitcoin "news" webshites, like CoinDesk, have been as silent on the topic as any statist newsmedia would be.
Yep, they're like cockroaches...pushing their shitcoins so that they can be super rich early adopters since they missed getting into Bitcoin early.
They change a few lines of code and suddenly believe their shitcoin is far superior to Bitcoin and should be the main cryptocurrency. Unfortunately for them, network effect is much more important than any coding tweak when it comes to currency.
I sat through a whole cryptocurrency conference that turned into a shitcoin conference with everyone getting on stage bashing Bitcoin and talking about why their coin was superior. Had I known it was a shitcoin conference I would not have wasted my time.
