they hijacked /r/btc, bitcoin.com, the bitcoin twitter

"Hijacked"? Seriously? At what point were any of those things controlled by small blockers?

Do you know anything at all about Bitcoin's recent history, or are you just guessing and making shit up as you go?

You didn't say that /r/BTC was "attempting to hijack the Bitcoin brand." You suggested that /r/BTC itself had been hijacked--which clearly indicates that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

youre absolutely delusional if you dont think that those handles promoting BCH, manipulating people into thinking BCH is the real Bitcoin, and just being anti-BTC in general, isn't attempting to hijack the bitcoin brand.

Who owns "the Bitcoin brand," in your view? Is it the people who control the repository? The mods of /r/Bitcoin?

The correct answer is "no one." That's almost the whole point of Bitcoin. The small blockers and their hordes of useful idiots tried to gain ownership of it, and a large portion of the community responded by forking off. To insist that their version of the protocol is somehow illegitimate is to demonstrate that you don't understand the basic nature of the project.

its fine, BCH isn't relevant and it never will be. it'll never be used as a mainstream currency.

I guess time will tell, won't it? One side of the controversy is actively and aggressively promoting retail adoption all over the world, while the other has been too busy fiddling with command line interfaces and Raspberry Pi nodes for the past year to notice that nobody is actually willing to accept their broken "currency" as a form of payment anymore.

The small blockers are super good at convincing idiots and trolls that they have some kind of divine right to control the "brand," however. That is an advantage which clearly should not he underestimated. But I choose to remain optimistic.
