A few days ago, NewsBitcoin.com published an article referring to the changes and controversies surrounding the first cryptocaption, emphasizing the original vision of Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin.
Satoshi Nakamoto left the community in 2010, and no one has heard from the anonymous creator of Bitcoin since then. For the moment, the Bitcoin community has split into two factions due to the escalation debate, which coincidentally began the same year that Satoshi left.
Many supporters of Bitcoin Cash believe that the BTC side of the community has never had a valid excuse against increasing the size of the 1MB block by using a negative to yield at any cost mentality.
The Bitcoin Sash community believes that this group has been so stubborn that Core's supporters basically allowed a backlash to happen last August, allowing the vast majority of users to go their separate ways bifurcating the protocol, before witness presentation segregated litigation (Segwit).
The Segwit protocol has been and continues to be controversial and has not gained much traction even to this day. All these individuals who once shared similar visions with their peers, formed another community and joined around the Bitcoin Cash network (BCH) believing that the BCH is the closest chain to Satoshi's original vision.
Along with all this vitriolic energy linked to the escalation debate, BCH supporters say that there have been many individuals who believe that "Satoshi's vision does not matter" and that they actually have the audacity to propose changes to the creator's white book.
Many people will tell you that the reason for this is because supporters of the Segwit chain have realized that the document does not apply to the BTC network.
Unfortunately, BTC barely resembles what is described in Satoshi's white paper. For example, the co-owners of Bitcoin.org, 'Theymos' and 'Cobra Bitcoin', among others, have talked about changing certain phrases in Satoshi's article.
Another example is how the Bitcoin.org web portal, advertised by Core followers as 'trusted', eliminated the description of fast, cheap transactions for Bitcoin from the homepage; The reason is that the description does not apply to the Core network.
Of course, the supporters of Bitcoin Cash have been furious about this method of revisionism used by the other side of this debate. It is often said that the "Satoshi vision" or the creator himself does not matter, but BCH supporters believe that most free-thinking people understand that history is important.
Satoshi's words and his original white paper are extremely vital to prevent the network from being perverted. Anyone who denies history does not understand how things came to be, and they will have a serious problem in facing the future. The past is the direct causality of the future.
The very title of the white paper explains that Bitcoin is an "electronic point-to-point cash system" that shows absolutely no reference to keeping the currency as a speculative asset, or any comparison that represents a "digital deposit of value".
After almost a decade, one by one, supporters of BCH claim that the specific features that were widely promoted among the Bitcoin community have been slowly forgotten.
In the early days, Bitcoin was considered a pseudonym and needed tools such as mixers and guarantors that could help provide anonymity. However, due to the increase in transaction costs, most bitcoin mixers and searchers found the network unsustainable, and many were unable to mix currencies because network rates were too expensive and unreliable.
In addition, during the times when BTC suffered from extreme network congestion and unconfirmed transactions soared to more than 200,000, darknet mixers and recreational devices were called to 'send spam to the network'.
Remember when transactions were once described as cheaper than most centralized processors like Western Union? In the first days, people imagined billions of micropayments that helped people in need and third world countries.
In contrast, throughout 2015-2017, core advocates and developers declared that they did not care if the fees added up to $ 100 per transaction. The lead developer, Gregory Maxwell, stated that he was bursting bottles of champagne during the worst period of the BTC transaction accumulation and the $ 60 fee.
It did not matter that economically unfortunate countries could not afford to use the Bitcoin blockchain as long as the chain remained "resistant to censorship."
Ironically, this thought process leads to the censorship of more than 2/3 of this world who have a difficult time considering paying 0.25 cents per transaction (tx) and much less 30-60 USD per fees. It is safe to say that enjoying the growing process of the fee market comes directly from a Ponzi scheme manual, where only the first users are those who can afford to use the benefits of the network.
Basic supporters will tell you that Bitcoin Cash proponents are misleading when using the open 'Bitcoin' brand, when in reality all BCH supporters believe that what they do is "adhere to Satoshi's original vision".
In fact, the chain and community of BCH are Direct Derivatives of stubborn reflux. Revisionists and actors with confirmation bias have clung to arguments that make no sense and act as if the world were ready to adopt a new infrastructure called "Lightning Network.
This is after realizing that BTC chain transactions are not very fast, and chain rates are not reliable, especially during demand times.
Unfortunately, the main attention that took place during the fourth quarter of 2017 was one of the worst periods of congestion, since the BTC rates were added to more than USD 60 per transaction and the confirmation times of up to a week for low rates. .
Then, the mainstream went to a system that is not even close to widespread adoption, even though this main audience was basically at a turning point toward mass adoption.
Fortunately for conventional adopters, BCH supporters believe that Bitcoin Cash will be there to provide the same things that were promised in the early days that made the idea of cryptocurrencies so good: really fast, cheap and reliable transactions that do not they can be censored.
This is because supporters of BCH claim that audiences and users in third world countries will not be prevented from using cryptocurrency due to unreliable transfer times and tumultuous network rates.
Nor will they have to learn to adopt a new network at the top of the block chain or obtain information about routing defects, watchtowers, centralized sites, opening channels or maintaining online currencies in the limbo.
No, all you have to learn is how to use Bitcoin as it was taught over the past nine years. The main audiences also envision a "resurrection of applications" of tools that were once announced by the BTC community.
The Bitcoin Cash ecosystem has resurrected mixers and searchers, micro-insert applications, a Bittorrent platform, social media applications such as Memo and Blockpress, including the ability to send very small fractions of BCH without an Internet connection.
The proponents of Bitcoin Cash think that the revisionists will continue to try to say that Satoshi and the white paper "do not matter" and will try to review the story to make Bitcoin something it is not. Why do BCH enthusiasts believe this?
It is probably because the supporters of Bitcoin revisionism have defended propaganda and censorship, so much so that it has become a routine activity in some of Bitcoin's most frequented forums.
All this for a stubborn mentality to win at any cost that would not even allow the discussion or open debate to add a miserable megabyte to the size of the block. No, the advocates of the BCH believe that the confusion complained by supporters of the nucleus is based on their conscience, because they obfuscated the original intentions of the protocol, the anonymous minions sniffed dissident opinions and cried when they received the rejection (the birth of the BCH) that they deserved.
It is safe to say that Satoshi's vision will be remembered, and his white paper will remain safe from the changes. However, supporters of the BCH understand that the revisionists will also be recognized for being intellectually dishonest and as sophists who try to keep Bitcoin hostage.
Bitcoin Cash enthusiasts believe that after August 1, 2017, the hostile acquisition of bitcoins will be over, and now there is a way available to continue to follow Satoshi's vision.
