1st on Steemit: I interview Roger Ver (Bitcoin Cash) About Steemit, Coinbase, Cryptos, More

BY: @davidpakman | CREATED: Dec. 22, 2017, 9:46 p.m. | VOTES: 1463 | PAYOUT: $666.01 | [ VOTE ]

As I announced I'd be doing yesterday, today I interviewed Bitcoin Cash's Roger Ver from St Kitts, where he now lives. All topics were on the table, including Roger's libertarian politics, Bitcoin vs Bitcoin cash, his anger with another interviewer who recently referred to Bitcoin Cash as "bcash," the listing of Bitcoin Cash on Coinbase, the future prices of Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash vs. Litecoin, and much much more.

This is going FIRS TON STEEMIT and will only later appear on my other platforms.

I also asked him about Steemit towards the end of the interview.

Thanks to everyone who has been supporting me on Steemit. Please do support the other creators I've recruited to the platform:

@hannahlaurel - travel, food, wine, more
@samseder - politics
@big-lou video gaming and heavy metal

Hi David, its good to have both you and Sam Seder here on Steemit. Please use your powerful voices to help expose the US governments support for terrorist groups in Syria, including the White Helmets psy op that is being carried out to mislead the American people to support that immoral war based on lies. Stopping these wars for Empire is the quickest and best way to expose the corrupt two party system and help shut down the out of control military industrial complex, thus helping to put that wrongly allocated taxpayer money into crucial programs that will help regular US families attain back their wealth and well being. My research on the White Helmets terrorist ruse is extensive and includes research utilizing their own Facebook accounts. I hope you both will look into it and share it with your huge audiences so that we can help wake people up on all sides of the political aisle and move America and the world into a better place where war is a thing of the past. Working together I truly believe it is possible.

The white helmets are terrorists? They are UNARMED, civilian volunteers, paramedics, and firefighters, who act selflessly to provide aid to their brothers and sisters who are stuck in a war zone.

How have they been terrorists? All I see in your posts are some pictures, a link to another one of your own articles and a live-leak link with more pictures, some stolen footage, probably off facebook, and no proof. What kind of outrageous accusation is this?

@clarityofsignal | Dec. 23, 2017, 4:14 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

In actuality there is extensive evidence derived from the White Helmets own Facebook accounts (hundreds of them) that they are terrorists posing as rescuers and are a propaganda psy-op established by the UK and US governments. Additional evidence and dozens of videos proving such are at the following links:

Germany is a good example, same people, same country, same resources.

Sweden however is much richer in natural resources, like Saudi Arabia. No wonder they have a high living standard even in a very controlled state.

But you can't compare standard of living between countries without looking also at natural resources.

@cryptoctopus | Dec. 22, 2017, 10:13 p.m. | Votes: 2 | [ VOTE ]

you also have to look at culture. Swedes do very well...everywhere they go. Kind of like Japanese people. High standards of living come from cultures who are highly productives and industrious.

@fitzgibbon | Dec. 22, 2017, 10:18 p.m. | Votes: 3 | [ VOTE ]

Standards of living come from a multitude of factors, productivity being a very important one.

The reason I pointed this out so bluntly is the underlying premise Roger makes in the video: heavy state control is detrimental for a country's economy and development, he points to Germany as a historic example.
David comes back with Sweden as an example to highlight that heavy state control doesn't automatically lead to poverty. However, Roger never said that, he just pointed out a correlation.

@the-ego-is-you | Dec. 23, 2017, 1:19 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

You both make some good points. Actually the economics of Scandinavian countries are also a lot more convoluted than most people think.

For exampe we have high wages and empowered unions, but we don't have any official minimum wages comparable to what's in the U.S. whatsoever.

Decentralization matters a lot. The U.S. is a group of former sovereign states now essentially merged into one. Sweden is a tiny sovereign state (in terms of allowed self-governance) which has a population of 10 million. We also have local systems of government within the state.

Norway is another example, with a populace of less than that of New York and a lot of oil, they have both resources and also very local governance.

@tngflx | Dec. 23, 2017, 3:25 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

So what you're saying the rich are getting paid more. While the poor with minimum wage is not guaranteed, they are paid with whatever amount they please? Is that your point?

@the-ego-is-you | Dec. 23, 2017, 3:35 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

No, the actual point is that it's not the sort of system that "liberals" in the U.S. tend to want. It's much more fluent in a sense, taking into account market developments better and majority decisions are made at a level that's much closer to the individual. That makes a huge difference.

Wages are high, perhaps too high sometimes, but there's no absolute minimum wage that can be set merely by a "nice" or "heartless" politician.

You’re not alone. I’d say you are on par with the majority, and possibly ahead since you already have a btc wallet. The market is highly speculative and the general public is buying and holding whatever small fractions they can get. The ones in the know have held on to their btc for over a year and are now taking profits. Do your research and find an e-coin with low to no transaction fees and one which is highly scalable - iota comes to mind; but do your research since there are many alternatives available out there. Good luck!

I also like the video. I very much like the first question given, which was basically "what problem would be solved with crypto?" The simple answer from Roger Ver was "control over YOUR OWN money." I have just begin my journey through the crypto currency world and it really is simple to send and receive money. Yes, there are some other things related to crypto currency that are confusing (i.e. wallet, trading platform, mining, businesses that support bitcoin purchases), but after all that, it really is simple.

Just like any new thing in the world, there is a learning curve, acceptance maybe, and even a foundation. I think the world is way past the basic foundation, and are not beginning to learn and accept bitcoin and other altcoins, as I am. As BTC becomes more common, especially in businesses, better ways of receiving and spending BTC will be available, and will soon become just a part of who we are as human beings. Look what Facebook did to us. Some may say that there came some "Bad" with the rise f social media platforms, but there has also been many "Good." Good luck to you all on your endeavors to learn and use crypto currency. Happy Holidays!

He doesn't own or control Bitcoin Cash as such, so it's not "his business" but rather what he has now chosen to migrate most of his business towards using and serving. If you make money from Bitcoin Core/Segwit mooning, we're happy for you obviously but that's not why we got into Bitcoin.

As a supporter of Bitcoin Cash, not necessarily all the people supporting it, I hope Bitcoin Segwit does fantastically well. Maybe there won't even be a need for Bitcoin Cash anymore? But I find it hard going back to a community that accepts censorship, false smear attacks and manipulation of public opinion. That's where Bitcoin Cash will stay relevant even after Bitcoin Segwit team decide to raise the blocksize and whether or not their Lightning network ends up uncensorable by governments or not.

I wonder why you guys don't support Litecoin. Why some "B"CASH? Litecoin proven itself through the test of time, similar technology to bitcoin and heck even took the source code from there. Bitcoin cash is a one company fork by ViaBTC. ViaBTC takes a large chunk in bitcoin mining pool as high as 11%.

And another thing is bitcoin cash 8mb solution is just a temporary fix. What happen if we overused that block again? Another hardfork? Why support this coin? Why not support other better altcoins out there. Those 3rd generation crypto are way better than this stupid coin.

>I wonder why you guys don't support Litecoin.

I and I think most Bitcoin Cash users tend to support all working crypto in general and open, fair, communities.

>Litecoin proven itself through the test of time, similar technology to bitcoin and heck even took the source code from there.

Litecoin started out as a clone with changed coin supply and has since gone on to adopt other things, such as segwit. It's also not the same as the white paper by satoshi and there are many technical pros and cons of Litecoin, just as with other altcoins. On top of that, it isn't as widespread and has much less infrastructure and developers ready for it.

>Bitcoin cash is a one company fork by ViaBTC.

Bitcoin Cash has much wider support than by a single company. No matter how much influence the larger companies spearheading its adoption have, it's still decentralized as per the Bitcoin white paper. This is just fud.

>ViaBTC takes a large chunk in bitcoin mining pool as high as 11%. Roger Ver himself have a large mining company too (bitcoin.com) and Bitmain selling ASIC miner.

Good for them, they are taking a huge risk by establishing a competitor to the coin they already hold a ton of.

>Did I see any non miner in this group that supporting bcash? NOOO!

In which group exactly, the one you just picked out? There are many other supporters. The difference is that these are large companies that have chosen to invest and go public with their support. You wouldn't take notice otherwise.

>So why they fork? Simple. Miners' greed!!!

This is outright false and you should take a look at how miners have benefited from the inflated fees in Bitcoin Core these last few years. That's not normal. That is bribing the miners and preparing for a private monopoly on the blockchain. Normal users can't pay $100 fees when paying for groceries. Hell, forget about spreading Bitcoin Core/Segwit to low income countries at this point.

> Ever wonder why bitcoin cash high price only lasted a while and COINCIDENTALLY on the fall of bitcoins?

Because that's how markets move and have always moved? There was nothing unusual about it.

> It's all coordinated attack on bitcoin legacy chain! I won't try to explain too much how they attack it.

ummhm

>You can hear it from Jimmy Song stating bitcoin mining network turn off 30% overnight.

Miners can switch network back and forth to adjust for profitability and many did. That's how the system was always designed. Nothing new there. It didn't do anything to harm Bitcoin, which has had high fees and unreliable transactions for a long time now. It even saw continued price increases shortly after.

> So you guys are putting the future of blockchain, the world revolution that's about to overthrow the government, to this bunch of greedy miners?

No, we are taking back Bitcoin for us that were in it since back in 2010 or so and still have the same revolutionary vision that we had back then.

>SO what's the different to just use back fiat and let government tke over all over again? GUYS!! WAKE UP!!

Blockstream intends to sell you payment channels because you can't use the actual blockchain directly. How do you think that's gonna overthrow governments exactly? Those channels could much more easily be manipulated and controlled, just like todays banks. You won't be using the blockchain itself in any direct manner at all.

Best case scenario fees finally decline, but BTC security is decreased after having cost users a ton of money in fees and chaos for several years. No, I say you wake up.

>And another thing is bitcoin cash 8mb solution is just a temporary fix. What happen if we overused that block again?

The blocksize can be raised again and again, if technology continues to evolve, potentially in perpetuity. Should the development of technology be too slow, there is at least a huge market incentive to come up with funding or a second layer solution.

See, we don't actually reject all second layer solutions as some Core devs and supporters want everyone to believe. We just reject intentionally restricting access to the main chain.

Sadly, SteemIt is quickly turning into the 4Chan of the Blockchain

@berniesanders set up an army of bots, to attack everyone who disagrees with him. What a cute little troll he is. I was about to leave, but not anymore. I refuse to allow a depressed and disgruntled brat making me leave.

Protecting the platform? No, he's not. @berniesanders is turning SteemIt into 4Chan.

This user made an incredible post about it, without ever sinking down to their level. They attacked that, as well, thus proving they are not interested in contributing to this community, but only in tearing it apart:

https://steemit.com/whales/@taskmaster4450/whales-and-others-their-behavior-on-full-display

And they claim to be protecting the platform. What a joke. They're destroying SteemIt out of spite.

The list of users they're attacking out of spite and jealously is bigger than the phone book. And of course, you already know about @haejin, the original victim. The rest of us are being attacked merely for defending @haejin's work on this platform. That how low these babies sank.

I think it's important to note that the economic freedom in Scandinavian countries is still fairly high @davidpakman, perhaps even more in many areas than modern Germany does. It's just less clear to economists and outside analysts precisely how those systems work and since they are known not for their industry or acceptance of cryptocurrencies, but rather for taxation and redistribution or "socialism" people tend to believe that only the latter two are what matter. (Not at all to suggest that redistributing wealth is necessarily always a bad thing, but again, taxation is not voluntary distribution nor necessarily the most efficient way in a lot of peoples eyes)

We could dig down into the different parts of Swedish society (where I live) that are "capitalist" or "socialist" etc and there are both good and bad things about concepts that the general public tend to put in either of those two categories, but its often fairly convoluted and we certainly don't have full "social democracy" either. That is, unless you make the definition so wide that it includes any democracy with a redistribution scheme, public healthcare etc, in which case I suppose we could label almost any modern industrial nation a social democracy.

Good interview, it actually made me feel better about the intent of bitcoin cash, the one reservation and question that i wish was asked is a recounting of the difficulty of getting the bitcoin core community to get them to get the improvements in bitcoin core. Ver mentions that they weren't interested in faster confirmations, larger blocks, but that isn't a good enough, frankly, don't believe it. Devil is in details, there must have been something that the majority of the core community did not agree with, and now we have this fork which doesn't help anybody.

The devil in this case was censorship, manipulation and other issues on the Core/Segwit side. You should watch the recent debates/interviews with Jimmy Song and on Tom Woods youtube channel on the issue. Many of the good people are either not at all in this debate or have been lead astray by the recent developers and newcomers to Bitcoin who have an entirely new philsophy and agenda.

Holy Shit Bro, at first I thought this was just another Roger Ver piece about how great BCH is and how much Bitcoin sucks... Little did I know, that you sir have done your research!

Great job of staying on point and sticking to the facts. You also didn't get emotional and kept your cool.

I've just recently been learning about the infamous Roger Ver aka Bitcoin Anti Christ, and it just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

I love how you just start out the video asking him about prison lol. The balls bro.

I wonder how he used to act before the internet started hating him, because right now he comes off incredibly defensive, has the SAME talking points (doesn't take a rocket scientist, so sick of hearing him say that) and honestly has a lot of the same qualities of a sociopath.

I wonder if he really believes in what he's saying or he just has a vendetta and an agenda... Time will tell.

You're smart to notice this. He even smiled that he reduced his sentence to just couple of months. Why entrust our blockchain future to someone who have no clean record? Why don't we bet it on someone better? Crypto is still on early stage, it's vulnerable to all kind of manipulation and propaganda. But I know one thing why blockchain is built for. Financial freedom, decentralization, free from control of any party!

Hi, there are other scaling solutions but each have their own problems. Larger blocks lead to resource and bandwidth constraints on full nodes leading to node centralization.

The best way to scale is to increase the "efficiency" of the network by cramming more transactions into the same amount of space. Schnorr signatures would reduce the storage and bandwidth requirements of each transaction by 25%, freeing up that block space for other transactions. This is being designed and implemented right now in the bitcoin core main repo! Also side-chains and extensions blocks have been proposed as scaling methods but neither have seen very much development.

In my opinion, lightning network transactions hold the most promise as a medium to long-term scaling solution. But they are a little bit complicated to comprehend at first.

@thecopypasta | Dec. 24, 2017, 5:54 a.m. | Votes: 2 | [ VOTE ]

I imagine d0sofficial is angry because Roger andJihan Wu have been attacking bitcoin on and off since August. There have been spam attacks to raise fees, shilling on social media, and diversion of hashrate away from bitcoin to bcash to slow transactions.

Well done Pakman. I like how you tried to be diplomatic but still tough, I also disagree with the libertarian narrative, that we only have to eliminate the evil state and evil people will just magicly cease to exist.

Crypto is after all a very political topic because of all the impact it will have on the world soon.

I would like to see the follow up video that Roger suggested, where you just talk politics and not so much Crypto.

Nelly's Secret
Episode 2

Dad wheeled in his sea-green Porsche with speed a little faster than a millipede's.
Eng Odeh was one man who had a taste for the good things of life. He was rich and he knew how to utilize his cash. He wasn't like frugal men who hoarded millions of Dollars in the bank but still went around dressed like cobblers. Infact, he frowned at such men.
He had cool cash and it showed on his dressing, his electronics and every other thing he possesed.

He had barely packed the luxury vehicle when he alighted and peregrinated towards his one-storey mansion.

"Daddy Welcome" Nelly uttered with a forced smile. Eng Odeh swivelled his neck swiftly like an african native rat who had just sensed a trait. He stared at her for a few minutes and continued perambulating ahead without a single word as Nelly crossed her two hands below her breasts, wearing a long face.

At the other extreme of the compound, Adamu was seen approaching with two white jerrycans.

"Come here, you useless thing," She yelled. "You weren't employed so that I'll be the one opening gates in this house"
"Small Madam I'm sorry, he begged. "I was helping Amaka to watch Madam's clothes."
"You were helping Amaka to do what"
"I was helping Amaka to........."
"Will you shut up?" She retorted. "Amaka is paid to do the chores and you are paid to open the gate? Were you paid to come and be doing Amaka's work?"
She moved two steps closer to him and threatened, "I want to believe that what I'm thinking right now is not true. Infact I don't even want to think about it. But know this, that next time this repeats itself, you will be fired. Do you understand me?"
"Yes Small Madam." Adamu replied with a trembling voice and hurried towards his post without waiting for her to utter another word.

Nelly looked around for a while and reached out to adjust her brazziere. She smiled at herself and felt proud that she could make a man about two times older than her tremble.

She started walking back towards her comfy arena when she heard "Nelly!!!". It was Dad's voice.....

I am not trying to insult but rather hopefully be constructive but you need to brush up on your interviewing skills. It seems that you are trying to debate more than interview.

For example instead of saying "In terms of a counter example", you might try it in a form of a question "But what do you think of this counter example". Because then it is more like you are delegating questions your audience might ask.

Also your counter example is kind of misleading because a country doesn't exist forever with what ever policies it has at this moment. Just as you might for example save a bunch of money early in your career and then when you get older go into a spending spree on the money you saved, you can't then say that your better off during the spending spree than when you were saving just because you are getting more stuff. A lot of these Scandinavian countries might have a high standard of living now, but socialism didn't create that high standard of living, socialism didn't create the capital that they are enjoying now.

Austrian Economists like to point out a lot of other examples where governments take the credit for improved standards. For example child labor had already declined before laws banned it. Car pollution had already declined before they created laws that required cars to have lower emissions.

You can even find logical reasons behind this. Imagine if politicians mandated higher standards in car emissions. Suddenly people would be unable to drive their cars (being below the standard), businesses would be unable to sale their stock of cars. Everyone would revolt against a government that did this, they would impeach people in office over this. Instead what happens is, car manufactures produce cars with better lower emissions and patent technology, and then they lobby the government to increase standards which would force their competitors to license their patents. And then politicians take credit for the improved standards.

@roji.abraham | Dec. 24, 2017, 2:54 a.m. | Votes: 2 | [ VOTE ]

Had seen the full interview.. the interviewer did refer to Bitcoin cash as BCash and the reason he said is quite legitimate, it's easy reference, Roger Ver had no reason to feel insulted that way.. The interviewer was not shouting or throwing abuses, unlike Roger, though in the end the interviewer did troll Roger by saying Bcash many times over..

Roger could've just respectfully walked out early if he wasn't comfortable instead of being abusive, gloating over his millionaire status, and even mocking the interviewer for running a business hosting porn on blockchain. Interviewers can be critical or holding different opinions, but as a public figure, you need to know how to rope in your emotions and keep your cool rather than go ballistic.

Roger anyway issued an apology later, but the damage was already done, the interview portrayed him in far worse light than an interviewer who at most can be guilty of trolling Roger for a few seconds (most people wouldn't know John anyway).

The entire interview is here >youtu.be/OJT2CbfHTpo> ... Don't want to troll this post further but just made that point.

Sorry @davidpackman. Just wanted to make a point that Roger needs to be less vitriolic about criticism on Bitcoin Cash and not get into a defensive mode when faced with questions on its legitimacy as the 'true Bitcoin''.... not trolling with more comments. Sorry again..

@the-ego-is-you | Dec. 24, 2017, 9:19 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

That guy is a troll period. Rogers behaviour was wrong as well, but that other guy certainly didn't deserve much respect. There were finally several false claims made by the "interviewer"/Core supporter. That's where Roger realized it was a hit piece an should have walked away, just without giving the trolls more ammunition.

Well it's better to get interview but do you think that anyone know about bitcoin up and down position right now? 4 months back it was just $400 and in 4 months it went to $20,000 it means 1000+ times more than before ..
and suddenly it went down to $15,000 in 24 hours what the shit it is going on ...
I think we have to wait and watch the position of bitcoin for next 3 months ..
Please suggest best of you experience related to my comment thanks

For those struggling with the DTube link, use the IPFS link instead!
The interview is worth a watch. I agree with Roger on the Bitcoin debate, Bitcoin needs to be useful as cash for every day payments or its useless.
There are "solutions" being brought forward like Lightnin and Liquid , but the jury is still out on those.
Appreciate the honest take on Steem.
The long term viability of Steem is a concern we all have. Only time will tell. Much depends on the community's ability to self govern and neutralize the many exploits (many of which carried out by bots).

Bitcoin was the first mover and has prestige and brand recognition. Bcash is just an imitator looking to cash in on brand confusion. It's why Roger get's upset if you drop the Bitcoin part from the name. Without that it's nothing special.

Bcash is the definition of a shitcoin. All they did was clone someone else's tech, add a racing stripe and then try to steal their brand.

If people want superior technology and features in the blockchain they are looking to invest in then they aren't looking to Bcash.

Yeah, but being the first user is not much use when one does not introduce a technology that keeps improving.

First mover not first user.

"Remember the name of the first mover "

Altavista, Webcrawler and Yahoo were the first big search engines. You could also consider Compuserve and AOL's internal network searching features. Are you young or do you just have a bad memory?

Your analogy is also very crude into what's being compared. Search engines are not a value store that end users have invested in.

Okay so low transactions fees is what matters? Then Steem kicks the shit out of Bcash.

If you want to compare the blockchain technology for various tasks and uses to existing chains you'll find Bcash isn't the best.

They are riding on another brand's coattails. They are not a great innovation.

> Okay so low transactions fees is what matters? Then Steem kicks the shit out of Bcash.

This is a flawed argument because steem and sbd both destroy the fuck out of BTC as well. You are not making a pro BTC argument. You are making an argument that neither coin should exist.

> If you want to compare the blockchain technology for various tasks and uses to existing chains you'll find Bcash isn't the best.

Actually, if Roger sets up the Visa Debit card then it would jump BCH to being one of the best most widely adopted coins in existence.

One of the main issues you have as a pro BTC person right now is your heavy dependence on the heavily centralized and inefficient Lightning Network. Everything about the LN is a complete disaster and its hard to see how a VIsa Debit card would'nt just stomp it 6 feet into the ground.

> They are riding on another brand's coattails. They are not a great innovation.

Nobody cares. Are you in this for your fee fee being hurt or are you in this for the money? Pick one.

BCH + Debit card absolutely trounces
BTC + Lightning Network

No contest in even the slightest way. BTC will not be recovering. You need to dump your bags now because you are only going to keep bleeding out your money.

@contentjunkie | Dec. 26, 2017, 3:46 a.m. | Votes: 74 | [ VOTE ]

"This is a flawed argument because steem and sbd both destroy the fuck out of BTC"

Yes, it was a flaw in your argument by choosing transaction fees as a metric. I'm not saying any of them shouldn't exist. I'm saying be real, Bcash is just a clone with a couple racing stripes. It's not the cheapest, fastest or any other superlative. Bitcoin can always claim first and that is what Bcash is trying to steal.

"Actually, if Roger... "

If... if.. if .

"Nobody cares. Are you in this for your fee fee being hurt or are you in this for the money? Pick one."

That's a tacit surrender of the point. I can make money off of Bcash but that doesn't mean I have to delude myself about it being something its not or being a Roger Ver fanboi.

Why Some People Call Bitcoin Cash ‘bcash’.
This Will Be Shocking to New Readers.
The August 1st (2017) fork of Bitcoin is called Bitcoin Cash. It was announced late July on www.bitcoincash.org.
The fork happened because after 4 long years, Core developers and their corporate sponsors were successful in pulling the wool over the eyes of the community.
You see, Bitcoin was always supposed to be peer-to-peer electronic cash. It was intended as a permissionless network and a fast, low-fee payment system. This is what made it famous and allowed it to become a multi billion dollar asset.
Unfortunately, those ‘core’ developers had other ideas and are changing Bitcoin into what is called a “settlement layer”, which ultimately won’t be a peer to peer system any more.
There’s a mighty big difference between the peer to peer money we all know and love that exists today and the “layered” system that the “Bitcoin Core” group envisions for the future.
A HUGE difference. Like, night and day.
“They” Are Upset that Bitcoin Forked. Especially Because the Fork Calls Itself Bitcoin (Cash)
Bitcoin Cash may have less hashpower and a smaller network than Bitcoin, but it follows the original roadmap, the original code design, and the original vision of Bitcoin as peer-to-peer money.
Bitcoin (Core) on the other hand is much more like an alt-coin with a complex, overhyped code labyrinth called SegWit… a refusal to allow Bitcoin to scale on chain as designed by Satoshi… and a roadmap that takes away the power of the people and changes Bitcoin into a platform for the banks.
And no, that’s not an exaggeration.
So They Started the ‘bcash’ social Engineering Attack
Make no mistake: this is an attack, with the same tactics they’ve been using for years in trying to control public opinion. In the past, their main weapon has been censorship.
This time, they want to “relabel” Bitcoin Cash and hope it catches on.
It won’t work. Even the exchanges which are sympathetic to Core are aware that playing politics here will cost them business and reputation.
The Attack Is More Malicious Than You Think
It’s not just that they have a bunch of trolls (some paid) who go around saying ‘blah blah bcash’.
They actually use their censorship at r/bitcoin and try to redirect unsuspecting users to r/bcash, which is a subreddit they control.
Don’t believe for one second their lies of “I call it that because its an abbreviation”.
Nope. This is an orchestrated social engineering attack. In fact…

Why They Are Going to All This Trouble?

It’s simple: They want to disassociate Bitcoin Cash from Bitcoin. They don’t want to allow Bitcoin Cash to use the Bitcoin brand name.
And that’s completely hypocritical given the fact that the Core group has used every dirty trick in the book (censorship, corporatism, lies and stalling) to usurp the Bitcoin project to their own ends.
By contrast, all Bitcoin Cash is trying to do is continue making the blocks bigger so that the peer to peer network can grow.
Their Secret Hopes
They are hoping that they can remove the Bitcoin name from Bitcoin Cash.
They are hoping new users won’t even realize there’s another version of Bitcoin.
They are hoping those users won’t realize that Bitcoin was originally peer to peer electronic cash (not this settlement layer that Core is pushing.)
And ultimately, they are hoping people don’t see that Bitcoin has changed course, and that there’s a version of Bitcoin that stayed with the original formula.
It’s Not Going to Work
Cheap tactics like this aren’t going to fool many people for long. Sorry “Core”. You’re going to have to compete on merit.

Bitcoin Cash may have less hashpower and a smaller network than Bitcoin, but it follows the original roadmap, the original code design, and the original vision of Bitcoin as peer-to-peer money.
Bitcoin (Core) on the other hand is much more like an alt-coin with a complex, overhyped code labyrinth called SegWit… a refusal to allow Bitcoin to scale on chain as designed by Satoshi… and a roadmap that takes away the power of the people and changes Bitcoin into a platform for the banks.
And no, that’s not an exaggeration.
So They Started the ‘bcash’ social Engineering Attack
Make no mistake: this is an attack, with the same tactics they’ve been using for years in trying to control public opinion. In the past, their main weapon has been censorship.
This time, they want to “relabel” Bitcoin Cash and hope it catches on.
It won’t work. Even the exchanges which are sympathetic to Core are aware that playing politics here will cost them business and reputation.
The Attack Is More Malicious Than You Think
It’s not just that they have a bunch of trolls (some paid) who go around saying ‘blah blah bcash’.
They actually use their censorship at r/bitcoin and try to redirect unsuspecting users to r/bcash, which is a subreddit they control.
Don’t believe for one second their lies of “I call it that because its an abbreviation”.
Nope. This is an orchestrated social engineering attack. In fact…

Why They Are Going to All This Trouble?

It’s simple: They want to disassociate Bitcoin Cash from Bitcoin. They don’t want to allow Bitcoin Cash to use the Bitcoin brand name.
And that’s completely hypocritical given the fact that the Core group has used every dirty trick in the book (censorship, corporatism, lies and stalling) to usurp the Bitcoin project to their own ends.
By contrast, all Bitcoin Cash is trying to do is continue making the blocks bigger so that the peer to peer network can grow.
Their Secret Hopes
They are hoping that they can remove the Bitcoin name from Bitcoin Cash.
They are hoping new users won’t even realize there’s another version of Bitcoin.
They are hoping those users won’t realize that Bitcoin was originally peer to peer electronic cash (not this settlement layer that Core is pushing.)
And ultimately, they are hoping people don’t see that Bitcoin has changed course, and that there’s a version of Bitcoin that stayed with the original formula.
It’s Not Going to Work
Cheap tactics like this aren’t going to fool many people for long. Sorry “Core”. You’re going to have to compete on merit.

Good interview. I get total scam vibes off this person and his arguments, and his background, and his political viewpoints. But I don't know enough to dispute anything he said.

@davidpakman wanted to hear your thoughts on whether processing/ indexing content inside of videos on DTube would be beneficial? I know youtube does this behind the scenes, and exposes only the audio closed captioning. Just wanted to hear your thoughts
