We're not, and we don't see the importance of this distinction. Majority of hashrate is not what determines what Bitcoin is. There are two camps, each with significant weight, that have different ideas about what "Bitcoin" is - so they should share the brand, at least until one of them prefers to rebrand. It's working fine in Ethereum.

Of course that is what the free market is, everyone has their own ideas, and his own project, and they should both exist voluntarily.

If 1 side wants 1 chain, the other side wants the other, they should both be respected, and then they should both have the same capacity to compete with one another.


I came into bitcoin to see voluntarism in action, and it makes me sad, that so many fascists have taken over this debate. When they are advocating for attacking people digitally, censoring people for having different oppinions, and turning their belief of bitcoin into a cult, that is fascism right there.


And that is very dangerous for the community, we want a free currency, or possibly free currencies, as each person has a right to decide what currency they want to use. Bitcoin doesn't have a right for supremacy, nor does a particular implementation of it.

People either choose freedom or tyranny.
