That is not what I wrote. Claiming that BCH is bitcoin is not the same as claiming BCH is BTC.
BTC is currently Bitcoin, aye. As it is the chain built atop the Satoshi genesis block that has the most accumulated SHA256 proof of work.
It may not always be such.
As an aside, anyone that mistakes BCH for BTC had obviously not even started to do the necessary due diligence for trading in this market. I have no sympathy for anyone incurring losses on this basis.
