Do you think that it's about time to start paying attention to Bitcoin Cash?

Below is the opinion of only one man - me.

This is how I see the 'war' going on between Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Cash - and very open to hearing opposition to this viewpoint. However, please if you comment, do not just say things like 'bitcoin cash is garbage' or 'bcash is made by scammers', or 'i hate roger ver', etc. I think that we are WAY beyond that at this point and that serious facts need to be brought to the table. There is a lot at stake here.

Do you agree with this?

-Bitcoin Core (BTC) = Banking interests, corporate centralization, government sanctioned, etc. - ie. Lightning network layer, centralized blockstream corporation, etc.

-Bitcoin Cash (BCH) = Peer-to-peer cash transactions, no central authority, no corporate or banking interests, government feared - disparate players like john mcaffee, jihan wu, craig wright, Roger ver, etc.

Now... let's assume hypothetically for a moment that the banking and government systems are legitimately scared of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general because of how it threatens the existing power structure. Just try to imagine this is actually the real case scenario for just a moment.

That said and if it is a reality... what do you think the banking/gov power structure would do to kill and/or prevent something like an independent, p2p electronic cash system (Bitcoin Cash) from emerging? What lengths would they go to to stop it? How would they stop it?

Would they do it bluntly and directly (e.g. like a ban) or would they do it more subtly and methodically (e.g. like hijacking the movement, taking control of its development team, and incentivizing them to setup a 2nd layer on top of bitcoin that can be controlled...).

I personally think the government/banks would FIRST use the media to try to discourage others from investing (e.g. remember Jamie Dimon from Chase calling bitcoin a fraud? Remember Bill Gates and Warren Buffet coming out against bitcoin? - these people have influence). It's called propaganda. When that failed, they would then infiltrate the movement and dev teams to hijack and prevent the possibility of an independent currency from emerging (sound like blockstream? Look at the actors in the Blockstream corporation. Look at their background and ties. Follow the money). They would force out all opposition to the direction the 'company' would take bitcoin. Sound familiar? Lastly, they would setup networks of bots, trolls, and loyalists to bad mouth and talk trash on the emerging p2p electronic cash system.... why? To again use propaganda to discourage the public from using it.

Now bring on all the conspiracy theories.... I'm ready.

I think now Bitcoin is one of the most stable cryptocurrency and there are not so many coins and projects we can trust as much as in Bitcoin
