At some point, Roger Ver announced the launch of Bitcoin Cash.
Actually Ver is not the founder of Bitcoin Cash.
(I like your posts, BTW, especially
this one.)
I stand corrected, it seems it was a group of people who did not agree on the direction Bitcoin was taking.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin_CashThe need to accommodate an increasing count of transactions per second contributed to a push by some in the community to create a hard fork to increase the block size limit. This push came to a head in July 2017 when some members of the bitcoin community including Roger Ver felt that adopting BIP 91 without increasing the block-size limit favored people who wanted to treat bitcoin as a digital investment rather than as a transactional currency. Bitcoin Cash supporters, compared to Bitcoin, were more committed to a medium of exchange function. This push by some to increase the block size met a resistance. Since its inception up to July 2017, Bitcoin users had maintained a common set of rules for the cryptocurrency. Eventually, a group of bitcoin activists, investors, entrepreneurs, developers and largely China-based miners were unhappy with Bitcoin's proposed SegWit improvement plans meant to increase capacity and pushed forward alternative plans for a split which created Bitcoin Cash. Segwit controversially would later enable second layer solutions on bitcoin such as the Lightning Network, and this controversy led to the split that created Bitcoin Cash. The proposed split included a plan to increase the number of transactions its ledger can process by increasing the block size limit to eight megabytes.
Dash has been commited to creating a superior form of cryptocurrency since its inception back in January 2014, way before the BCH fork. In my opinion it is still a superior form of 'cash like crypto' than BCH.
