Roger has 500k Twitter followers, a full sub-reddit he runs, camping the .com domain and has been on TV globally. His cries of "censorship" falls flat when he has that kind of exposure.

The real problem is he relies on his name-camping technique using mimicry and social engineering to spread his message.

If he truly wanted to compete on merit, he'd rename his altcoin to something else, like "VerCoin" or "MyVision" -- but he won't, because the crux of his strategy relies on duping people new to the crypto space into thinking what they're getting is Bitcoin.

But it isn't.

He's gone so far as to list an option on his site where he quotes Bitcoin in dollar terms, but then sends you BCH by default.

That quite simply, is fraud.

But I expect no less from a full Douchetarian like Roger, or any of the other shady characters he surrounds himself with.

Indeed, on r/btc you will be down voted by hundreds of paid trolls when you say something positive about BTC / negative about BCH (while it is r/BTC), he is lying at bitcoincom and tricking people in buying his altcoin while telling them it is Bitcoin. He is a scammer and when certain platforms delete scams that is their full right. He use the word censorship to make others look bad, but he is a master manipulator / scammer

Here's a great teardown that goes in depth technically and historically -- https://hackernoon.com/thats-not-bitcoin-that-s-bcash-f730f0d0a837

I recommend you read it, or anyone else who wants to understand why Very Wrong Ver is in fact, wrong.

Indeed. Bitcoin is the chain originating from the genesis block with the highest accumulated proof of work. The Bitcoin Cash fork failed to gain majority, thus it is not Bitcoin.

In practice this is actually a fairly shortsighted way of looking at it, because accumulated proof of work only becomes the deciding factor once other necessary attributes have been confirmed.

(This btw is the only good reason underlying why so many have been sucked into the populist notion that users voting with so called "full nodes" - that don't fulfill the criteria for being called nodes as laid out in the design paper - can be an acceptable governance mechanism, when it is in fact much too easily manipulated.)
