But BC also made many new innovations of the time like, oh IDK the whole pure PoS idea that nearly every coin is based on now
I don't think that's correct. There were other PoS coins but BC was first to reach full PoS because of it's short PoW period.
People are not grateful, and forgettable.
Without BC, there would be no VRC, and many other short-term PoS/PoW coins.
We should all acknowledge BC
edit:
one/two month in crypto-world is years in real-world, people forget things so fast, such a pity
If people have followed my twitter account, I have only had good things to say about BC and rat4 (the BC developer). We're all in this crypto business together.
