Why are you reacting so emotionally? You have held bitcoin for a long time, and so you would have equal coins on both the Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Cash chains. If Bitcoin evolves as peer-to-peer digital cash, with low fees and reliable confirmation, you win; if Bitcoin evolves as digital gold, with high fees and transaction friction, you win too.
I believe in the original vision for Bitcoin as described in the white paper: as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. I am working to help shape bitcoin to that vision and will continue to do so.
Could I be wrong? Sure. Maybe it actually is good to have $20 fees (soon to be $50) and a network that can only process 3 transactions per seconds (one thousand times less than Visa).
And that is why I hold both BTC and BCH.
i react emotionally because YOU play games with my live savings. why the fuck aren´t you creating just another altcoin to realize your great vision? why tamper with bitcoin? if you are not happy with it, leave it. well, you sort of did, but you try to steal as much juice of it as possible, trying to hurt bitcoin as much as possible.
now you expecting me to hug you for it? your game is called hijacking and it is evil.
From my perspective, it is Blockstream/Core that are tampering with Bitcoin, by refusing the allow a much-needed capacity increase to reduce fees and allow for continued growth, and then by fundamentally changing the structure of the BTC coin by adding
segwit.
Bitcoin Cash represents the original vision for Bitcoin as peer-to-peer electronic cash. I will continue work to realize this vision, and help resist the hijack attempt by Blockstream and Core.
from the perspective of a wrong-way driver it really looks like all the others are wrong.
visions can and should compete. but playing foul/malicious games that will hurt peoples life savings is one big ego trip. where are your contributions towards bitcoin to address the problem you describe? didn't´t get merged? why?
