I used to listen to Majamalu talk about what was happening in the Bitcoin-BTC forums: the posts and messages deleted, the systematic blocking of users, the insults, etc. From his statements, I inferred that these spaces had become branches of a kind of sect. I found it hard to believe 100% what he told me until I decided to join a Facebook group and leave an opinion: all I did was point out, without disrespecting anyone, the reasons why I believed Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is better than Bitcoin-BTC.
Majamalu had already warned me about what I could expect, and I must say he was right. I received a barrage of responses, almost all containing mockery and insults. But not all. The only argument they presented was a striking one: “the market has spoken.” They implied that, due to the large difference between the price of bitcoin-BTC and bitcoin-BCH, people had already decided in a free market which was better.
It is true that in the world of cryptocurrencies there are no impositions and everyone can choose freely. That said, I think it’s worth clarifying something that blind BTC fans insist on ignoring. The vast majority of people are still trying to understand what cryptocurrencies are, how they work, how they are issued, what advantages they have over alternatives, etc. They were created not long ago and, like all revolutionary innovation, generate skepticism and many, many questions.
But those who allow themselves to doubt and research patiently are often the ones who ultimately reap the rewards, just as those who delved into the subject from the beginning did. These pioneers were labeled naive or delusional, if not criminals, while the “experts” predicted the imminent extinction of Bitcoin.
