we could say Ubuntu is the real Debian or Lubuntu is the real Debian as well. And why not to say Opera browser is the real Chromium project.
Or using the Money as a comparison, it is legitime to say the EUR currency is the real US Dollar.

Bitcoin Cash die-hard: "Homo-sapiens is the original hominid species, they all forked from us!!! Angry"

Cheesy

Seems just like any shady IPO, listed on the OTC exchange, whereas regulation is minimal and audits are almost non-existent and can easily be fudged. These guys hoped to capitalize on that concept, as do what seems some of these alt-coins are hoping to accomplish?... and because of the lack of regulation, it's harder for us to distinguish these malevolent acts until someones lost money and the threads start appearing, and by then, it's usually a little too late...

Bitcoin & cryptocurrencies are a self-regulating meritocracy: there's no reason to prefer Bitcoin for ideological or group-think/"home team"/latest fashion reasons.

Using Bitcoin enables and strengthens your economic & monetary rights directly, without the need to resort to the classical government model of protecting rights (which is essentially no more than a benevolent protection racket). There's no need to pay tithes to government goons to protect your interests, the Bitcoin network (and it's underlying software design) protects your money instead. Governments and banks are not big fans of this model of rights (and neither are the so-called liberal media).
