RE: Interesting Bitcoin Cash Apps and Resources
All fair points. About the website, I just wanted to point out that this image is on the front page.
They are marketing Bitcoin Cash as an "upgrade" from Bitcoin rather than an alternative. I think it is deceptive and, right now, I don't want to give government regulators any reason to characterize this space as predatory.
Technically it's quite true that it's an "upgrade", in many ways of the word. I still wouldn't consider it to be fraud. But I can agree that's too ambiguous to be good marketing. As I said, I don't always agree with Roger in particular. In this case I'm pretty sure the decision was not his, but he obviously is responsible as he is the site owner.
After my criticism, he did correct a few things in a step by step guide to buying Bitcoin (BTC/BCH), so it's obvious he listens to what people have to say. But not if they troll him. Maybe someone should try to talk with him directly about this in a calm -- non-accusatory -- manner and see if he changes it?
When it comes to regulators, I frankly say "bring it". We can't stay under the radar forever and eventually there will be clashes. I'd rather have the crypto community learn about the importance of privacy now, than when it's too late and no longer practical to address.
-I want to say that I applaud you for not completely lashing out in conversation so far. It may sound degrading or overly dramatic, but this is terribly uncommon when discussing this topic, as I have learned since I started to shift my position towards being more understanding of Bitcoin Cash and where the community is coming from.
And I thank you for being civil as well. People like picking sides in the Bitcoin Cash issue. I am on the side of the user. Finance is full of people trying to take advantage of the less financially aware. I see it all of the time in traditional finance, I would hate it to become normal here.
I'm with you on that.
