Fuck Roger Ver.

I hope you're joking here. Roger has done more to promote Bitcoin and build its supporting ecosystem than anyone alive today. From a purely technical level, Bitcoin deviated from it's original design when it introduced Segwit thus Bitcoin Cash is the true Bitcoin and "Bitcoin" is the fork.

Quote from: https://csrc.nist.gov/CSRC/media/Publications/nistir/8202/draft/documents/nistir8202-draft.pdf

When SegWit was activated, it caused a hard fork, and all the mining nodes and users who did not want to change started calling the original Bitcoin blockchain Bitcoin Cash (BCC), the document states. Technically, Bitcoin is a fork and Bitcoin Cash is the original blockchain. When the hard fork occurred, people had access to the same amount of coins on Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash.

Obviously anyone who has been an early Bitcoin supporter and has dedicated years of their life to it's promotion would be concerned when an ignorant public embraces a design change that alters one of the core fundamental principals laid out by the founder. If you are unfamiliar with this dynamic then apply the principal of core design change to any freedom or liberty guaranteed by a nation-state's constitution and then note the changes the alter it. In some instances you positive changes like Magna Carta and negative ones like Patriot Act. In this scenario Bitcoin is akin to the former as it represents freedom from oppression whereas the latter, like Segwit, is an abomination.
