Actually, people are attacking Bitcoin because they are in reality supporting something else as if they can be able to diminish Bitcoin by using that strategy. They will fail, of course. Nothing can stop Bitcoin and its critics will eventually accept that fact of life. There is nothing wrong with supporting or promoting aside from Bitcoin, and that is why we have thousands of altcoins around. What they don't understand is that without Bitcoin, BCH and BSV and the rest of the gang will not be here if Bitcoin did not paved the way. No Bitcoin, no alts...that is the arrangement and not the other way around. These people are just wasting their time but then if they got nothing better to do then let's just let them so they got something to enjoy!

Far from the conspiracy theory, or they believe that Bitcoin is the real currency, and it is the same narrative that supporters of the dollar repeat, as they believe that the currency must be from the central bank to have value, and Bitcoin has no value for that. What distinguishes Bitcoin is continuous development instead of searching for Fast solutions, as both (BSV and BCH) provided quick solutions to the problem of high fees, but they did not continue to develop, which made them lose the advantage of low fees, while Bitcoin continued to develop, so it gained greater value, and the day may come when a cryptocurrency exceeds Bitcoin in terms of market value if it continues to develop.

Why, is there still a need to clear this up? Is the situation not yet clear until now? I think this is an old issue that no longer requires further explanation and clarification. The debate has been subjected to the free decision of the market and the crypto community, and the decision is to stick to the original Bitcoin and to let these low quality copycats die a natural death. Let the developers of these forks continue to try keeping it alive but they will eventually realize it's pointlessness.

I was around when segwit was activated and it was the birth of Bitcoin cash. And at the time it was highly unprofitable to mine bitcoin and very profitable to mine Bitcoin cash.


BCH algo was different and the retarget was quicker but Bitcoin was still 2 weeks. So blocks got awfully long at times and people were worried that the chain might stop. However some loyal miners stayed on the unprofitable bitcoin chain and it survived. It was a scary time for Bitcoin.

You forgot to say why you started this topic, for example is there something new happening or have they started "attacking BTC" recently that you needed to clear things up here? I'm asking because I haven't seen any new attempts but also I don't follow this stuff that closely.

Technically what they wanted was control and money. They don't have the first and have very little of the second. They wanted to create a shitcoin they controlled and gain a lot of popularity to have others use their garbage.
But what they forgot was that utility is what attracts solid demand, useless junk that is a copy of Bitcoin is not offering anything new to attract that type of demand. It only attracts short term gamblers who would dump their coin very quickly.

Why do you even care? These chains aren't relevant anymore. Even if BTC fails because of the high fees, people still won't use these possibly centralized projects. People would rather prefer to use the alts that have good reputation like Monero and Litecoin instead. (Monero is getting banned from the exchanges though) Even Doge is better than the BCH/BSV duo. Still though, if I had to make a decision between these two (bch and bsv) I would go with bch because bsv is absolute crap. It is pure insanity.

I didn't think it was a scary time, personally.  There have been quite a few forks over the years since I read about it during the summer of 2010.  Things that were potentially scary were the overflow bug in August 2010, but it was resolved quickly.  Ditto the March 2013 fork which also was resolved quickly.  😀. Everything else was pretty much ignored by bitcoin.

It is and it's not gonna change it  maybe there are a bunch of altcoins with their capability and so on but bitcoin would be a bitcoin, not an altcoin gonna dethrone it. The world knows crypto because the Bitcoin and it always become like that.

BCH is a good altcoin back then and I hear they make another hard fork or split team while BSV is just too centralized I just wonder why people buy this coin.

But what do they offer? a fast payment or a big block nahhhh broo there are a dozen chains nowadays with minutes or coupled seconds to finalize transaction layer 1 like eth and litecoin or even dogecoin can do it. layer 2 chain, well you can do transactions with a fraction of dollar within 1 minute approved so don't bother bitcoin just know your place hahah

Unfortunately, I do not see these people anymore. I don't remember if I have seen any BSV or BCH supporters in this forum except a recently banned troll after posting in Leo's farewell thread. I guess that was the happiest moment for a lot of Bitcoiners. No matter what they say, they know that they are spreading lies. They only wake up when the market is positive. I haven't seen any of them in the last year.


Actually, the percentage is bigger than this. If we check coinmarketcap, there are 2.2M+ cryptocurrencies at this moment. How many coins do you know? I don't think there are more than 200K Crypto's. The rest 2 million crypto's are dead.

Please move this topic to the Altcoin Discussion forum, since you are discussing altcoins like BSV and BCH. Yes, BCH and BSV are altcoins, despite having the word "Bitcoin" in their names. Anyway, I don't hang around the BCH/BSV communities, so I don't know how and why they are attacking BTC. They can't change the minds of all BTC supporters, therefore their "attacks" on BTC are totally pointless. Maybe they are butthurt, because BCH or BSV didn't become bigger than BTC. Several days ago, some forum member was trying to explain how BCH/BSV was "Satoshi's true vision about Bitcoin" as if he personally asked Satoshi Nakamoto about his vision of Bitcoin.
