It really isn't half as stupid as the current horde of twitter/reddit commenters would suggest. Of course, they on the other hand will tell you that it's the other side that's using bot accounts to spread a false narrative and that any real person supporting Bitcoin Cash is a paid off shill.

The problem is people see it as a deception and a fraud. While I can't say that there have not been attempts at this from within the Cash community, there have been equally shameful play from the Core community.

At least Bitcoin Cash works. Bitcoin Core can only blame malicious acts of mining-/transaction- terrorism until they get lightning network fully launched. (This is primarily not the cause, because the problems with Core are nothing new) When they do, fees will hopefully be lower again but they could also have a network structure that is less technically trustworthy than Bitcoin Cash.

Worst chase scenario, Core stays expensive and irrelevant except as a speculation vehicle and Cash never catches up in terms of public, nonmerchant, adoption.

Best case scenario Cash incentivizes more rapid and higher quality innovation on part of the Core team and they both succeed in their own way.

yeah i thought the same, but this is good news :) curious how this BCH solution will do :)
