BCH is a system made up of inanimate entities. Accordingly, BCH doesn't claim anything.
Correct, in this instance I was referring to the backers of BCH, passing it off as BTC.
Sorry if that wasn't clear
Nope. Still not clear.
So who are 'the backers'? The uncountable masses who hold and use BCH, or do you have a more specific set of people in mind?
I'll help. Roger Ver. Roger Ver is using his influence to trick people into thinking BCH is "the real bitcoin." He's stated this numerous times. He goes out of his way to add confusion about bitcoin for the sake of his own profit. One needn't look further than bitcoin.com for confirmation of this, where he uses his ownership of the domain to muddy the distinctions between the two, frequently creating links that go to BCH-related content when they should be going to BTC-related content.
There, happy now?
Interesting enough , if people are confused about which coin is which, and the guy actually succeeds in bringing Bitcoin Cash's network down,
odds are those confused people Sell everything with the name Bitcoin in it including Bitcoin-segwit , not just cash.
He might cause a super crash in all bitcoin named coins, just because people don't bother to learn the difference.
All it will take is 1 media outlet forgetting to add Cash on the end and say Hacker Crashes Bitcoin, and we might see a super sell off.
Still want to see if he can pull off crashing the network or if it is just smoke and mirrors.
