    BTC "The rich don't need Bitcoin. The poor do. I already can transfer millions instantly. The poor cannot even send their money slowly right now. It can be $40 for someone without a bank account in the Philippines to send remittance to their family when they earn a $100 a month. That is disgusting."

    I don't care if you think Craig Wright is a scammer or a fraud. Just watching this video, you can tell his motivation for working on Bitcoin (Cash) is on point.

    The old Bitcoin is back. You can feel it.

    r/HailCorporate mod stickies an announcement claiming that Bitcoin (segwit) is corrupt and that r/bitcoin is censored

    Craig Wright quote arguing against using BTC (in favor of Bitcoin Cash) receives praise and reaches front page of /r/Bitcoin. The herd agrees with CSW when they don’t actually know it’s him.

    "I had really cool $BTC projects that I had shelved when the fees got lame. Moved them over to $BCH and I can't believe it, but I'm excited about #BITCOIN again!"

    Bitpay are planning to support Bitcoin Cash in the next major release for both the copay and bitpay wallet applications (I got this email on my support ticket for incorrectly sending bch on a bitpay payment to a merchant)

    Repost: 4 weird facts about Adam Back: (1) He never contributed any code to Bitcoin. (2) His Twitter profile contains 2 lies. (3) He wasn't an early adopter, because he never thought Bitcoin would work. (4) He can't figure out how to make Lightning Network decentralized.

    This sub is such a breath of fresh air.

    I usually hang in in r/BitcoinMarkets/ (and occasionally check r/Bitcoin/) and reading r/btc/ has really thrown into sharp focus how biased and heavily censored those other subs are.

    If you post anything negative about Bitfinex in r/r/BitcoinMarkets/, you instantly get multiple downvotes and all kinds of people arguing with you. Why would people be so passionate about an exchange that lost $72 million in customer funds? It never seemed natural ,and instead very fishy.

    And of course any mention of new Tether creation is automatically removed/censored from r/r/BitcoinMarkets/. They claim it is a "conspiracy theory" even though the BTC price pumps so often right after the new tethers are issued.

    The mods there are likely either in Bitfinex's pocket, or perhaps they fearful of those who run Bitfinex, so they are just doing what they are told to protect their careers and lives and families. I don't blame them in this case, but doesn't change the fact that it's a censored and manipulated discussion.

    You also get downvoted heavily over there if you criticize the high Bitcoin miner fees. I've been into Bitcoin for about four years and I remember that low fees was one of the major advantages and selling points of BTC, and of crypto in general.

    So just saying I was stubborn and dumb to not give r/btc a chance long ago. I believed the propaganda elsewhere about you guys, but you are actually the only ones speaking openly and honestly and truthfully.

    /r/bitcoin denial so hard

    Posted: 18 Nov 2017 11:41 PM PST

    All I keep hearing is Bitcoin is a store of value. Totally totally doesn't make sense at all, like Beanie-Babie Coin. Core basically rode on the coat-tails of users, miners & merchants who built Bitcoin with commerce from 2010-2016, using it as a medium of exchange thereby proving its utility as an online digital payment system/currency/protocol (all-in-one) which helped give it its 'store of value' function (in addition to the 21-million cap scarcity function). *hint with ever higher fees, Core & BTC-Core investors are sitting on a time bomb of High-Fee coin. Total madness. So much stranded Bitcoin that can't be moved without decimating the nominal value of the deposits in wallets/exchanges..

    The whole market seems to hate on Bitcoin Cash for being a low fee hard fork [imo closest to P2P cash mentioned in the Satoshi 2008 whitepaper]. The name of Bitcoin / Bitcoin Cash is just a dynamic moniker; when market sentiment turns this BCH is going to rage like a mother*#$&(@. Especially if you see transactions start to grow towards the invisible BCH fee ceiling of 2 million tx /day, spooling 420GB a year of Blockchain, which most modern day computers can store (7 years of 8mb Blockchain for 90$ on Amazon for 3TB now). Similarly 8mb/10 minutes is 13kb/s. We are not living in dial up beep boop beep age anymore lol. BCH can scale on chain now, why the hell is the market obsessed with Lightning (vaporware/alpha/prone to Sybil attacks), Segwit (forced onto users/incentivises miners to be cartels and possibly raid your Segregated transactions)? weird..

    Oldie but goldie: Mike Hearn's bitcoin parting blog has an excellent summary of history of blocksize debate, core's roadmap, RBF, key players, mining centralization, bitcoin XT, forum censorship and much more.

    I finally made the switch to bitcoin cash

    Posted: 18 Nov 2017 05:04 PM PST

    After a lot of consideration I've decided to make the switch from btc to bch in hopes that the market will steady a bit and then start its slow ascention to eventually replace btc.

    Why ETH wasn't built on Bitcoin: "Given what certain core devs were saying at the time, I was scared that protocol rules would change under me ... to make it harder, and I did not want to build on a base protocol whose dev team would be at war with me"
