Crypto Shirt of the Day: Bitcoin Classic

Exactly! There are so many people spreading fud as well as a lot of people pushing misinformation it's too the point that NIST doesn't even know whats going on. You know misinformation is a problem when you confuse NIST.

Yes, and now I bet someone reading this will think we're simply being uncritical of the early NIST draft because it supported the claim that Bitcoin Cash was the real Bitcoin, but then they are falling for the misinformation being spread again as I certainly recognize that there was plenty in that draft to complain about.

If the report "supports" some claim I made but is otherwise inaccurate and makes me look like a fool, then obviously it's not helping me in the long run.

What's more, I think there have been plenty of social media sock puppets created to make Bitcoin Cash users look bad. Fake "noobs" asking for direction and fake "Roger-" or "Craig Wright fans" pushing things like the original draft of the NIST report (rather ironically too because it's a government job and butchered at that) as "the ultimate proof" in the debate etc.

I'm not about to go full on conspiracy nut though. Not even close. Anyone looking outside of the "mainstream-Bitcoin-media" so to speak for long enough can see it pretty easily unless they let their own biases get in the way.

The AXA stuff? Takeover attempts etc? I can't personally really establish any of that with certainty, at least so far. Some of it seems like stretching it or too hard to confirm. Also, lots of people on r/BTC were obviously banned from r/Bitcoin for good reasons; Not everyone was innocent, of course. But there's a lot more to it that.

-Disclaimer before someone says it, I became convinced that Bitcoin Cash was the better way to go after looking at the technical background, not because I wanted to get on a pump-and-dump train. I still don't have any Bitcoin Cash, but I recommended the project to friends when price was still correcting. My interest is in finally getting to use Bitcoin as we were always working on back in the day. Not merely holding it in a cold wallet.
