If you wanna go there, it's obvious Cash is basically a money grab for Ver — made apparent by the fact r/btc won't shut up about r/bitcoin while the latter cares about actually improving the network. Same tactic used by r/The_Donald against r/politics.

Oh yeah, and since you're so knowledgeable and pc I'm surprised you forgot Cash almost didn't have relay protection.

And yet the irony of it all is that the reason some r/bitcoin users migrated to r/btc was that any discussion even remotely critical of core's decision would get literally removed or downvoted into oblivion, creating a de facto echo chamber that you very conveniently decide to ignore. Just like how T_D readers were forced out of r/politics in the first place.

edit: and regarding your "Bitcoin is for P2P payment claim". yeah sure, as long as you don't mind paying an average of $10 per transaction to make it happen in a reasonable amount of time. the days of the changetip mania on r/bitcoin sure seem long gone.

That's some serious orwellian doublespeak.
