But if Roger Ver starts to make the public believe Bitcoin Cash is the real Bitcoin then he is scamming.

It's pretty safe to say that Roger is a scammer now. I think most of us can agree that Bcash's backers (Roger Ver, Jihan Wu, Calvin Ayre, Craig Wright) are scammers. But we also have to come to terms with a few things. For example, Bitcoin Cash =/= Roger Ver.

They have a pretty dedicated community. Sure, I think a lot of them don't understand Bitcoin's mining incentives, but that's irrelevant here. If they want to run Bcash, they should be able to. If they want to believe Bcash = Bitcoin, power to them. Bitcoin is either open source or it's not. Period.

There's nothing wrong with steering newcomers away from Bitcoin Cash. But I think lashing out at third party services is a waste of time. Coinbase has shown time and time again they are here for profit -- not to support your vision of Bitcoin. And that goes for most if not all exchanges. They're just here to make money off you. And adding more shitcoins is the best way to do that.

Well bch does have redeemable features and i don't think it's a shitcoin, it will have it's use. It's just that you're right, roger ver was able to take make a lot of people think if btc core is the real bitcoin and jump ship. He certainly made big money from those people that transferred and i don't believe he doesn't keep btc's to himself anymore.

that is the key point of all this!
people like Roger Ver or even Coinbase for that matter don't care about bitcoin. they are business men trying to make money from bitcoin. Ver saw a very good opportunity to make a lot of money out of thin air and grasped that opportunity with both hands and started bitcoin cash. each time there is a pump or dump he is getting richer.
