    This is Doug Polk, I have a question about my recent video on Roger Ver

    Posted: 31 Jan 2018 02:14 PM PST

    Hey guys, had a couple things I wanted to say, as well as ask this community. I'm hoping this can be a good discussion and I don't want to it to turn into mudslinging.

    For starters, I misspoke on segwit. You need a malleability fix for LN, but it doesn't have to necessarily be segwit. (Although segwit was the leading solution). My mistake on this error.

    I made the following statements in my video

    • I am more in favor of Bitcoin over Bitcoin Cash and am more in favor of technological innovation over block size increase.

    • Even Bitcoin Cash sceptics will agree there are advantages of block size increase as a solution.

    Is this not a fair opinion? Certainly bitcoin is trying to advance itself through tech innovation, the question is which is better. Interested in what you guys think.

    After that, I more or less did not discuss Bitcoin vs Bitcoin Cash at all. The point of the video was not to attack Bitcoin Cash, but rather the decisions of Roger Ver.

    I also said that

    Both r/btc and r/bitcoin suffer entirely too much from group think, and then r/bitcoin suffers from heavy moderation. I think because of that, both of these subreddit suffer from being echo chambers that make them worse than subreddit like r/cryptocurrency. I would also like your thoughts on this.

    There are many new people to cryptocurrency. I have to answer many of their questions. One I get all the time is, why does the bitcoin Reddit seem to hate bitcoin, and it's because of confused noobs from the name BTC. I understand the history of this sub, but do you not think it no longer makes sense to hold this name?

    As for Roger, my video was comprised primarily of ridiculous things Roger has said or done, and then also humor inserted in places I found it funny (it is certainly debatable if it was or not). But I want to focus on the factual parts.

    Probably the most disturbing thing to me from many members of the bitcoin cash community, was the inability for people to distinguish the difference between a role model in their community acting inappropriately, to the validity of Bitcoin Cash as a currency. A leader of a group, while fighting for those peoples causes, does not get blanket immunity from their actions.

    I did not see any bitcoin cash supporters bring up

    • Roger doxing someone over $50
    • Roger making directly hypocrital statements regarding segwit/lightning
    • Roger claiming to have sold >1000 BTC for BCH then saying he hasn't.
    • Roger's correlation of calling bitcoin cash bcash like calling a minority a slur.

    I don't own bitcoin cash. It is faster than bitcoin right now. Block size scaling has upside. I might joke around about bitcoin cash from time to time but I have nothing against the currency. So my last question is, why do people not address these problems? Do the ends justify the means?What are your take on these issues?

    Thanks for your time and will try to respond to answers as I can.

    HitBTC - Will now trade Bitcoin Cash under symbol BCH instead of BCC.

    Posted: 31 Jan 2018 11:30 PM PST

    Reason is Prevailing for BCH: "What really pushed me to support bch was ad hominems against roger ver and bch rather than calm arguments for supporting btc, it sounded like "methinks you doth protest too much" and lack of substance in arguments"

    No, you're censoring opinions that don't fit your narrative and threaten the status quo of fascism in the r/bitcoin subreddit.

    Posted: 31 Jan 2018 01:18 PM PST

    You've been banned from participating in r/Bitcoin

    subreddit message via /r/Bitcoin[M] sent 6 hours ago

    You have been banned from participating in r/Bitcoin. You can still view and subscribe to >r/Bitcoin, but you won't be able to post or comment.

    If you have a question regarding your ban, you can contact the moderator team for r/Bitcoin by replying to this message.

    Reminder from the Reddit staff: If you use another account to circumvent this subreddit ban, that will be considered a violation of the Content Policy and can result in your account being suspended from the site as a whole.

    To which I politely responded.

    re: You've been banned from participating in r/Bitcoin

    to /r/Bitcoin sent 2 hours ago

    For what reason am I being censored please?

    u/thieflar response.

    The word you are looking for is "banned"; heck, it's in the message you're replying to!

    You have been banned from participating in r/Bitcoin. You can still view and subscribe to r/Bitcoin, but you won't be able to post or comment.

    It's impossible to answer your question directly, as the phrasing is singular rather than plural. Nevertheless, I'll answer the question you should have asked ("For what reasons am I being banned please?"): for being an obvious sockpuppet account, a low-effort troll, regularly toxic, spreading misinformation and blatant pseudoscientific garbage, deliberately breaking subreddit rules, shamelessly shilling, etc.

    In short: for embodying everything we don't want in this community.

    Don't worry, though. Your free speech rights aren't being violated. We're just showing you the door.

    Suddenly, instantly muted.

    re: You've been banned from participating in r/Bitcoin

    subreddit message via /r/Bitcoin[M] sent 2 hours ago

    You have been temporarily muted from r/Bitcoin. You will not be able to message the moderators of r/Bitcoin for 72 hours.

    Initially my reaction was "oh well." rbitcoin is full of misinformation and lies anyway so attempting to interject reasonable arguments like posting Bitcoin Unlimited have successfully tested 1gb blocks with current home PC hardware (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SJm2ep3X_M) is bound to fall on deaf ears.

    But now you're censoring presented evidence that contradicts your narrative of lies.

    Now my attitude is, I will do whatever it takes to be as positive as possible with the adoption of BCH in my country and internationally. Bitcoin Cash is as close to the original Bitcoin design as possible. This is why BCH hard forked. People are starting to wake up to your censorship and lies rbitcoin and Bitcoin Core.

    History will not be kind.

    Update: Bitpay enabled Bitcoin Cash via Merchant Plugins

    Posted: 31 Jan 2018 11:02 PM PST

    Specific Bitpay plugin updates include WooCommerce, WHMCS, and PrestaShop.

    https://themerkle.com/bitpays-e-commerce-plugins-now-support-bitcoin-cash-payments/

    ...all plugins for these e-commerce solutions now let store owners accept Bitcoin Cash payments as well. It is a rather surprising turn of events, even though no one can deny there is genuine interest in Bitcoin Cash right now. On paper, it appears to be the superior version of Bitcoin as we know it today. Bitcoin Cash boasts lower fees as well as faster and more reliable transaction times than the main Bitcoin chain.

    Cointelegraph calls Bitcoin Cash most stable and popular cryptocurrency

    Posted: 31 Jan 2018 10:09 PM PST

    This guide on BCH just came out and seems in favor of BCH.

    "Bitcoin Cash hasn't been around for very long, but it has already established itself as an extremely strong cryptocurrency."

    Opinion: Square Cash App should add functionality to buy Bitcoin Cash

    Posted: 31 Jan 2018 10:49 PM PST

    Did you hear that Square's Cash App now sells Bitcoin core?

    Think about it, a 'cash' app with a green logo selling Bitcoin. It is kind of misleading since BCH has the green color and the word 'Cash' in it. Perhaps (but hopefully not) people are scammed into buying BTC thinking they are buying BCH.

    Let's do something about this.

    /u/btchip from Ledger Wallet company seems to admit in this comment that he does not think Bitcoin Cash has any importance. This is probably why they don't even have BCH as a default app, and allow tons of bugs to persist and blame the BCH network.

    Posted: 31 Jan 2018 09:43 PM PST

    Congratulations to BCH, it has been 6 months!

    We saved Bitcoin and ensured that Satoshi's vision will be remain.

    Thank you Satoshi for making Bitcoin!!

    Another article advocating for Bitcoin Cash. Keep the good news flowing.

    The BTC subreddit is about Bitcoin in general, not just a specific implementation of the whitepaper such as Bitcoin Cash (BCC) or Bitcoin Core (XBT)

    Posted: 01 Feb 2018 01:04 AM PST

    Those three letters in BTC do not have to represent a trading ticker at all. Does the "TX" label exist as a trading ticker on some exchange? Hell no, but it is still obvious that TX equates to transaction. It is easier to type BTC than Bitcoin peer-to-peer electronic cash system. The fact that we see exchanges listing Bitcoin Core as BTC is their choice even though it is confusing and conceptually wrong.

    Very disappointing that the Square Cash app added BTC support today, but no BCH support. How can we best let them know that Bitcoin Cash is actually a much better fit for them and their customers?

    “Picture that, a solution that makes money transfer so easy, that you don’t even know that you’re using Bitcoin Cash... Of course that’s not the way it’s going to remain, as adoption grows, more and more people may choose to receive BCH instead of fiat.”

    How bad will the Tether fallout impact BCH?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2018 11:59 PM PST

    I am of the firm belief that Tether will implode one day. Consider me firmly brainwashed by Bitfinex'ed. It appears that nearly all cryptocurrencies are dependent on BTC because of its role as a proxy in trading. Now if the claims are true, and BTC's value is artificially propped up by printing USDT, it has to eventually correct. There are claims of a 30-80% correction. How do you think this will affect BCH's value?
