RE: They Say That Bitcoin Core Devs Are Compromised - Are Bcash Proponents Real Anarchists? - A Deeper Look
Not surprised to see this article has been promoted mainly by upvote bots. Oddly enough right after an interview I did with Ver is doing pretty well in the anarchy tag. I won’t make any conspiracy theories of my own regarding this.
Having a big investment like that in a banking coin being an anarchist is way more suspicious than Blockstream being a tech company receiving funding from an insurance company.
In your opinion, you cannot be an anarchist and invest? Why not? I’m pretty sure Roger has never said the blockstream folks are “part of the illuminati.” It sounds like you may be conflating the views of other individuals with Ver’s.
That’s all the criticism you are going on to question Ver’s integrity as an anarchist?? Pretty weak case.
Even if you were right, though, the facts about BCH remain. It works as Bitcoin was designed to work. It’s fast, almost no fees, and can be use to buy and sell freely and securely. The same can no longer be said about Bitcoin Core.
I am not an opponent of Bitcoin Core, either, and hold some. These baseless and weak attempts at attacks on Ver—in an effort to discredit a coin—are pretty sad.
Firstly, I say nowhere that it is Rogers view that block stream is compromised by illuminati, but it is a big part of the Bcash community that does think that and this article tells them that I think it is very unlikely that Blockstream is compromised and THAT IT IS MORE LIKELY THAT ROGER HAS BAD INTENTIONS.
Secondly, I indeed think that investing in Ripple being an anarchist doesn't make sense. By investing in something you stimulate it and thus by investing in Ripple you give bankers more power. Voluntarism means you vote with your wallet instead voting in elections and by investing in Ripple you vote for bankers. It shows at least that his own gains are more important than improving the world, but maybe more.......
Also, It is bullshit that Bitcoin is not useful to transact anymore. BTC transactions are very cheap at the moment after a period of high fees that drove the market to improve efficiency through things like Segwit, batching ect. Every technology has hurdles to overcome when it grows and that is perfectly normal. Bcash DOESN'T work as designed, it is upgrading without caring about consensus and the security is flawed because it is only backed by 10% of the total hash rate.
Furthermore, if you give Roger time to lie about his altcoin over the back of Bitcoin on your show you ARE an opponent of BTC, because you are harming it. The mining pool of Roger has only minted BTC transactions with high fees to support his own narative on the cost of BTC and he is creating brand confusion by lying on his site what is extremely harmful. Telling people that Bcash is better he can do, but calling Bcash Bitcoin and BTC Bitcoin Core is an outright scam. And do you remember the 'flippening attempt' back in October or November? Purely hostile against BTC, and Roger was in the forefront.
This article is really not written because of your interview, I am more worried about Anarchapulco, where many freedom minded people who are doing great work but are not really deeply informed about crypto will be lied to immediately that Bcash is the real Bitcoin and BTC is compromised. I want these people to gain wealth and thus power to change things in the world and they WILL BE on the wrong side of the trade and end up losing money. It is really annoying me that the biggest chance for humanity ever is undermined by an attempt of a centralised, Bcash will certainly be compromised over time, so all the fraud in the world will remain!
Where, exactly and specifically, did he lie on my show?
2.35 Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin: Bitcoin Cash forked off from Bitcoin with less than 5% consensus and thus is a failed upgrade. Satoshi programmed Bitcoin that only can be updated with more than 50% consensus, so technically it is NOT Bitcoin! LIE
3.05: He say that BTC is no cash anymore. BTC payments are cheap and one confirmation takes exactly as long as Bcash. Satoshi himself said that 0 conf. is not a transaction so don't come with that. LIE!
5.05: He say today LN is 18 months away, BULLSHIT I use it myself already to top up my phone by Bitrefill (you should try, it is way faster and cheaper than Bcash). LN is on main net, growing exponentially and multiple wallets are out already and merchants start accepting it. LIE!
this is especially sickening when you imagine that Roger and his friends blocked Segwit for about a year, we could have been one year further already and probably have never had all the obstruction in the network!
Im 5 minutes in and found 3 huge lies already, I have more to do today so I stop now. Every lie was MORE ANTI BTC than pro Bcash. This guy is heavily damaging BTC through lies, the best opportunity for freedom ever!
