What do they think about this? According to scientists from the US government "Bitcoin is a fork and Bitcoin Cash is the original"

In response to demands from the public and private sectors, government scientists in the United States have created a guide on the technology behind bitcoin and its applications for a variety of uses. The 59-page report explains that, "technically, they noted that Bitcoin is a fork and Bitcoin Cash would be the original blockchain."

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), an agency of the Department of Commerce of the United States with an annual budget of almost $ 1 billion, would have launched an introduction of the technology behind bitcoin. They say they hope this report can help companies make decisions about whether or not they will be an asset to their products.

The scientists said "We want to help people understand how Bitcoin block chains work so they can apply them appropriately to technology problems," explained computer scientist Dylan Yaga, who is one of the authors of the report.

"Blockchain is a new and powerful paradigm for most businesses. People should know how to use it. In the corporate world, there is always an impulse to adopt new technologies. With Blockchain there is a big push to adopt it because of that. We want to help people see beyond exaggeration, "added Yaga.

This report confirmed Bitcoin (BTC) is the only Bitcoin. Unless you believe in US scientists and global warming.

Thanks for your comment, many things are said, and many do not believe in cryptocurrencies, bad for them while I benefit from Bitcoin

That's BS, BTC is the original, just more fake news going around

That's what those supposed scientists say

There is such divisiveness in the Bitcoin community about how to deal with its scalability issues, this is the kind of question that can lead to much chest-thumping and heated debate. But my view is, does it really matter? In some sense, neither is the original. BTC branched from the "original" when its miners decided to embrace SegWit (as noted in the report above) as their preferred bandaid for scalability. But BCH branched from the "original" when its miners decided to increase the block size from the "original" 1MB to 8MB. Neither fundamentally solves the issue. For details on why, I offer my post Bitcoin is Dead! Long-Live Crypto-Economies. I'm very new on Steem, so comments, upvotes and resteems are much appreciated.
