The battle for the name "Bitcoin" escalates / IOTA joins MOBI; Start of IOTA Ecosystem

They WOULD be competing on merit if Very Wrong Ver hadn't used social-engineering tricks to dupe newbies into thinking BCash/BCH was Bitcoin.

That speaks to a more underhanded and sleazy tactic that a con-man would use to trick people out of their money.

Very Wrong Ver's altfork is the only one that is claiming to be Bitcoin, is using naming tactics as such, and until recently, was promoting his own ego-project as what you'd get if you wanted "Bitcoin".

This is called fraud, and the lawsuit should be very revealing - especially in the discovery phase. There's more coming, but its probably best to let it happen naturally.

If the judge knows anything about the document that actually defined what Bitcoin is, she'd throw the case out in a heartbeat.

You know full well about the selective bans on r/Bitcoin and the social media spam. You're side is not innocent.

Don't even get me started on the downvote-brigade that is r/btc -- if you so much as TRY to oppose the Ver gospel, you get downvoted into oblivion.

Don't lie. I post there regularly. It's all about how you say it.

Obviously a troll attitude and baseless attacks won't be welcomed (unless they're pro BCH, it's Reddit after all), but that has more to do with your own personality than it has to do with Ver.

All very strong technical arguments.

Seriously, you can't see the duplicity in that statement? That you have to walk on eggshells, stay in line, or you get gang-rushed and obliterated?

No, not really. I don't think I've ever done that. When I forcefully disagree, I forcefully disagree. Perhaps I'm just more picky with what I choose to get agitated over and how I express myself by default? I don't know for sure, but you're messages in general would certainly seem to imply this.

Moving the goalposts again, I see.

We're talking about Very Wrong Ver's sub-reddit -- and his followers actively swamp any post that is not to their liking with aggressive downvotes.

Are you drunk? This is the second time you've played the fool -- unless you're always like this.

You are equivocating dislikes (which btw are easily sockpuppeted and should largely be ignored anyway in todays social media climate) in combination with open mod logs, with highly unfair selective bans in combination with closed mod logs.

Do you see how this might look a little... stupid?

Ver is a con artist and has a cult following nothing you can do to make them see sense. Also they have been Mislead into buying a copy coin and they stuck so they have to justify it being the real Bitcoin. They should have tried the name Bitcoin copy and see how many people bought into it if it's it such a great coin

"Bitcoin Cash" pretty much IS "Bitcoin Copy" even to newbs. It's hard to see that "Cash" on there and not think "knockoff". Then again half of the US voted for Trump so people are clearly easily duped.

In the general sense that you imply here, simply not true.

  1. Roger may not have the strongest arguments, but he's not actively trying to deceive other people as much as he can be moody and not always fully honest with himself in argumentative situations.

  2. Many in the BCH camp are criticizing Roger both privately and publicly. Currently there is even a notable split in the BCH community over whether labeling Bitcoin Cash "Bitcoin", with or without "BCH" behind it, is fraudulent or not. Even if I don't usually agree with him, in this case I don't think it was fraud.

Since the very beginning, people like "the evil miner" Jihan Wu has been publicly opposed to calling Bitcoin Cash anything but "Bitcoin Cash", restating this publicly a couple times. So not even the supposed pumpers in this group are not consistently agreeing.

This may surprise you, but I have perhaps more respect for Jihan than I have for Roger. Jihan actually has fairly well thought out opinions and is usually a very level headed guy. Calling him a cunt for creating and mining using the best possible hardware and wanting to support competing chains is a little low imo.

Calling him evil is a bit lower imo

Sure, but I'm also remarking on your use of language. "Cunt" is inprecise smear and is quite frankly what I'd expect to hear from an adolescent. In that sense I consider it lower.
