OP, the followers of Bitcoin Cash can say anything they want, but be careful with their subjective opinions. Some of them are designed to confuse, manipulate and to take you away from the facts.

At any rate, all I know is the word "Bitcoin" refers to what "they" call "Bitcoin Core" for most people except for Roger Ver and his followers.

If Roger Ver started a Bitcoin giveaway, be careful. It might not be really Bitcoin. Hahaha.

you continue to think everyone that detests cores centralism must love ver...

I did not say anything close to that. I said every newbie should be careful listening to people saying "Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin" or "Bitcoin development is centralized". Both statements are wrong and a lie.

Plus why? You support Roger Ver. I have never heard any statement from you that detests his fraudulent tendencies.

The Bitcoin Cash community should give itself a favor and throw Roger Ver out.

The Kardasiancoin Conspiracy.

That deserves its own topic. Make one, I will be there.

There are actually many forms of Bitcoin... and actually both BTC and BCH are in fact bitcoin. When you hard fork, the code effectively splits from its code base into two separate code bases... the two being the same. From that point forward (from the hard fork), the code bases can be modified and developed on. So really they are (or were) both bitcoin.

Why do people have such a hard time understanding this? When you copy code, you end up with an exact copy of the same code.... it's called duplicating or copying. In the open source community it's actually a thing... to copy code and modify it.

So not that we understand what it means to copy code, how can we say BTC and/or BCH are not bitcoin? They both are and in fact if I wanted to, I can go to the BTC (or BCH) code base and copy it to create my own cryptocurrency. The code would be the same and I can say it is Bitcoin.... b/c in reality it is ALSO bitcoin like BTC.

The crazy thing about crypto and why this is just getting warmed up, is that anyone can copy or clone any Bitcoin code and develop on it. Miners may centralize to be most efficient at mining crypto, but the crypto with the most utility will win... hands down - for the pure, simple fact that the code can be easily copied and reused and updated.

It annoys the $hiz out of me that folks have such a hard time with people cloning the BTC code and updating it... that is the nature of open source code.

Doesn't seem that complicated that if you make something open and free... then others will take that offer and do what they will with it. Why again is this bad? Wasn't the original bitcoin system setup to enable this on purpose?
