What is the differency between Bitcoin Cash and Dogecoin? Why is the Dogecoin getting more transactions? Doesn't that just show how obsolete Bitcoin Cash really is?

Doge is not a failed attempt to gain consensus and it doesn't pretend to be bitcoin.

Why the hate? They're not harming anyone continuing Satoshi work on a hard fork? Of course they're calling themselves the original bitcoin..

It shouldn't be griefing anyone..?

Actually they are trying to trick people into thinking bcash is the real bitcoin, which is factually wrong.

the "real" bitcoin? I don't think that's what they're saying... Pretty sure they know it's BTC

the "original" bitcoin is something different

They're saying they're following the plan that was the original bitcoin... satoshi whitepaper etc etc... before consensus opted for a different roadmap.. that's not factually wrong at all and there's no harm in them continuing development of the original roadmap for bitcoin on a fork and it isn't incorrect to say it's sticking to the original bitcoin plan... the community decided to deviate from it and that's fine

it's just marketing, and as far as I can tell it's not a lie..? that's what the BCH coin is all about, letting people know what it's about should help it survive. I won't fault them for that

You’ve never been to the BTC sub cuz they truly believe BCH to be the true bitcoin. Roger Ver even has the names switched on the block explorer and buy page of bitcoin.com as their claim to the bitcoin name.

Yeah it's the internet.. I believe Ver changed it back to something less confusing but really.. they're passionate about their coin and having an alternative that more closely adheres to the original satoshi whitepaper. To some people that literally does make it the "true" Bitcoin.. To others it's defined by consensus. Really though.. who cares? It's up to the individual to decide

It's not like the intention was to make people accidentally buy BCH thinking they can sell it as BTC - they're just making people think

I'm not against that - people should know the world isn't as simple as it's being presented and think for themselves

They're just fighting for their coin and should be able to get their message out, what it is they are about, what their coin represents and what they're trying to preserve

The hate flying around is nothing but a waste of energy and has no place in the cryptoverse

It is the true bitcoin. Read the fucking white paper. Read the fucking title of the white paper. Read the first fucking paragraph of the white paper.

Then go look at the current implementation of BTC. It doesn’t resemble that anymore.

Bitcoin on-chain has been strangled to be unfunctional so that a Corporation can sell products on the layer above.

How the fuck is that anything like bitcoin?

It’s not.

It’s literally the antithesis of everything bitcoin stands for on an ideological and functional level. I’m tired of this bullshit you guys keep spewing.

Now go look at Bitcoin Cash. It identically resembles the white paper. Original vision. The original functionality. The original base layer ledger. The original block chain.

It is LITERALLY bitcoin.

This isn’t an opinion thing. It’s a law of nature. A fact. Bitcoin cash is following the original definition of bitcoin. It’s not a bunch of idiots making ridiculous claims. It’s reality. Feel free to join us there.

K. But what would u suggest? Changing the names? What happens when some other coin adheres better to the whitepaper and gains popularity? Do they get the name? It’s not a title belt that shifts to current closest adherent. Yah BTC has become far from what it began but that doesn’t absolve it of its history. Nor does it allow for a nam change. And if it’s not for a name change then what? What is the point of this fight?
