I never said it is a scam coin, so please be careful with your assertions. I totally understand why people are against Segwit and cores dictatorship(censorship everywhere) and I understand why people want to have a currency which is actually useful in real life.
But in this power/money game there are much more players who just want to make money(@themystic described it really well). So be careful out there, those big players(core and bitcoin cash) don`t care about anyone in this awesome crypto community.
I believe BCC was not born of greed, but of the lack of innovation coming from Bitcoin Core.
A true open source project makes progress, a thing that Bitcoin core has been lacking for almost 2 years now. Progress.
People are tired of an outdated blockchain when new ones are popping up everyday that have the potential to rewrite the internet as we know it. They want innovation. They want low fees, big blocks, high malleability -- with NO centralization.
Blockstream has conveniently brainwashed the entire community into thinking segwit is "the only way " and "absolutely necessary" when that is far from the truth.
The truth is, BitcoinCash is the closest thing we have right now to a TRUE BITCOIN (one born of the true Satoshi's vision)
A blocksize increase can be hard coded in under 1000 lines of code. Why are we basically injecting a hack of over 6000 lines and disintegrating the fabric that gives it a true decentralized nature. You could argue with me all day about segwit, and act like I don't know what I'm talking about. But believe me, I do.
BitcoinCash is not perfect, but it's FAR from a scamcoin, and in my opinion -- better aligned with the open source communities views in general and the will of the people.
I think the true decentralized Bitcoin we had all hoped would take over the world is actually dead. Btc = ded.
Lol, so the innovation that BCash i.e. BCC did is making the block size 8MB and then tilting the original logo. Why are people promoting such coin?
They also removed the dirty hack that is segwit. A hardcoded block increase is 1000 lines of code, not 6000 like segwit. Segwit is garbage. Go learn about it.
Why you think SEGWIT is dirty unless you are a miner? I am in Software industry since past 17 years and what you are stating is making no sense. It doesn't matter whether the change is of 600 lines or 6000; but rather the execution which was just flawless. Again follow genius minds like Andreas Antonopoulos who is spreading true knowledge than Roger Ver who is completely business minded.
I am looking at this with a neutral angle and BCH fork was the worst and selfish decision ever in this decentralized community, rightly planned with wrong intentions exactly before the SEGWIT. Note my words, however they (Roger and top mining units) promote this coin eventually in a year time it will see a downtrend. I don't benefit from BTC or BCH as I equally own these coins but this is coming from my wisdom being in this space for last 4 years and my educational/professional background. Good luck mate!!!
