Bitcoin Forum

Considering how several Bitcoin forks have turned to politics by defending their own visions about the future of Bitcoin as a cryptocurrency, several events have unfolded within crypto land. One of those events is BCH's Hash War back in Nov 2018, which has caused a disaster across the whole crypto market due to loss of investor confidence. Due to crypto politics, there has been a clash between several factions looking to guide Bitcoin in their own way.

The Bitcoin SV project believes to follow the original Bitcoin whitepaper, while Bitcoin Cash believes to be the original Bitcoin itself. Both sides have been defending their views, with their respective leaders (such as Roger on the BCH side and Craig on the SV side).

As such, it makes me wonder whenever crypto politics is bad for the growth or reputation of the Blockchain industry? What are your thoughts? :)

The politician will only think about how to get the benefit and to dominate the market. Both of these politicians on bitcoin cash and SV even claim themselves to remove bitcoin and put their coin as the top of cryptocurrency that will be dominating the whole of crypto space. This such a bad example of how bad the politicians for crypto.

Basically politics is a different point of view. Dissent is a natural thing. But because of the ambitions of each party, crypto politics can have a negative impact on others.

whatever and whenever the case, if it is a problem then it will have an impact on the coin itself even the market because bitcoin is a coin that has a high reputation as well as bitcoin cas and bitcoin SV, so that if they are affected the market will be adversely affected will reduce the crypto value

Well, I think not because in many areas there are divergent situations for example, these hard forks that occurred in November may scare investors and advocates of regulation because at any moment one blockchain could be replaced by another, but if when the project it is useful, no matter what the situation, let's look at the ETH situation, I respect all the projects that have been launched and will still be laced, but I do not remember a platform so much fun and much used in 2017 - 2018 by the people, then the policies and laws or anything else legal will not interfere in this fantastic industry!

all these bitcoin forks were certainly not the best thing that could happen, but if bitcoin survives, it will certainly make him stronger. fortunately, the wave of useless forks seems to be over, and bitcoin is still there best.

I think you are right, the fight for the political supreme has cused so many unnecessary forks of bitcoin which had taken tolls in reducing the courage of investors and also creating a bigger panic in the market which saw bitcoin go from 7500 to 3500

but the developments of bitcoin didnt stop, thats the only positive.

Agree. Their main intent (both BCH and BSV factions) is to destroy Bitcoin (BTC) at all costs no matter what it takes. However, that's nearly impossible since both cryptocurrencies are based off the original BTC chain. The original project will always prevail due to its first mover advantage and confidence within the mainstream world. Bitcoin forks or copies of the original Bitcoin chain (such as Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV) will never prevail due to their similarities of Bitcoin. Their only difference is the increased block size and reactivated opcodes.

Considering how fierce the BCH Hash War was, it gives a bad reputation of the whole crypto space within the mainstream world. Events such as this one, will make investors and businesses lose confidence within the cryptocurrency project. Despite this, I believe that there should be no reason for crypto politics at all, as it would destroy the image or reputation of the Blockchain industry. Instead, both Roger and Craig could work together to make the blockchain a better place. ;)



Exactly. Instead of both sides fighting each other (BCH and BSV), they should’ve had come to an agreement to prevent such mess from occurring in the first place. But it seems that all of this was a result of greed from both sides for quick money grabs. If Roger Ver or Craig cared about the future of Bitcoin, they would've prevented the Hash War from happening, resulting in a good reputation from both projects. Considering how the value of both BCH and BSV combined is far less than it was prior to the hard fork, it seems that many investors have lost interests in the same. Just my thoughts ;D

For me it's bad.

They are just dividing the people who has been solid crypto enthusiast. They have their own views that can make these solid enthusiast to part way with what they have believing just to support what they like. Everywhere politics has already a bad image.

I also stated that this was very bad. Because in politics there can only be done for the sake of that person. I really disagree if this really happens that crypto is involved in politics.

It's already happening and those events has been mentioned by Abiky if you'll back read.

Well, there's more than 10 other forks that are worth $0. Why? Because they're worthless and they have no support.
Both BCH and BSV communities are made up of early bitcoiners who could no longer find a home in BTC since the project turned into something they didn't expect it to become. So by forking away, they still found their spot in crypto.
Forks didn't cause any crash whatsoever, the market was overvalued due to greedy people buying things they don't understand, and selling when they saw the easy money making days are over. It's also still overvalued in my opinion, and it doesn't need a fork to go down again. (Although I think there's a couple of undervalued coins out there).

To me,playing politics with crypto will not only cause a damage to the crypto sphere,to me,politics will only bring about manipulation which is as a result of some trying to prove a point.

If politics get involved in crypto that would be the end of every vision and principles this industry has. Politics is about owning and domination, something that crypto is against.

I think that politics always ruin every area in economy. Smart people always try to earn money, politics try to take more taxes from them. They make our lives harder and crypto is area withould politics, please save it.

Agree. Over time, BCH and BSV will just fade away as they won't be able to serve a purpose in real life. Most of the Bitcoin forks known to date, were created with the mere purpose of greed. There's no real vision in making Bitcoin and Blockchain technology better for the world. Adhering to crypto politics, will only make the Blockchain industry look bad, as people will lose trust/confidence in it.

While it's true that many altcoins are overvalued these days, there are only a few cryptocurrencies which are quite undervalued given their scarcity, and active development within the mainstream world. In my opinion, Bitcoin should've been worth at least $10,000 to $20,000 now, because its supply is very limited. Also, its block reward is halving every 4 years, which should have a positive increase in price anytime soon.

If you watch closely the market, you'll notice that prior to the Bitcoin Cash hard fork, prices for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies were a lot higher that what they are right now. Once the Hash War started, prices started to decline massively across the whole crypto market. Of course, one cannot deny that there are whales in this space looking to manipulate the market at all costs. However, things would've been better for crypto if all this mess wouldn't have happened in the first place.

I guess that if Craig didn't split the BCH blockchain into BSV, then the hard fork process would've been smooth, and the market would've been relatively stable. Then, Bitcoin would've remained in the $6k spot than the $3k spot we've been experiencing for a couple of months.

Nonetheless, I hope that crypto gains its reputation once again, with upcoming developments that are sure to put an end to the lack of privacy and scalability. :)



Yes. In my opinion, crypto should be apolitical as it was created with freedom in mind. The main purpose of Blockchain technology is to eliminate middleman or third parties. Considering how some cryptos (like BCH and BSV) have affiliated themselves with public figures (such as Roger Ver and Craig Wright) it greatly defeats the purpose of Blockchain. Both Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV are extremely centralized projects guided by their leaders every step of the way. With crypto politics in mind, each side defends their view of how Bitcoin should scale for the real world.

However, such scenario is not ideal, as it would cause confusion and more harm to the crypto space than any good. Which is why, both sides should work together to make Bitcoin and Blockchain a better place for anyone to enjoy. I'd be surprised if another Bitcoin fork emerges with the ideal of taxing the Bitcoin blockchain to accelerate the development of cryptocurrency. If this happens, then we'll be seeing another fork from the BCH blockchain named Bitcoin Tax. :D

I see the main product of block is best suitable for cryptocurrency and for the legal transaction that it can induce to the people. Well, block chain ensures security and trust and that best fits the topic about money, it needs to be fully secured and robust that it needs the blockchain.

The only thing that harms the reputation of crypto industry are the scam ICO projects. We need to find a way of how to eliminate such projects from the very beginning and to protect investors from fraud ICOs.

I am really not that political man even though there are several meaning of politics. But for me, I think it is something like conflict of anything. I may say that healthy competition is better because not all projects can always be accepted and implemented. We need to justify our main purpose and goal. That way, we really need to be very wise and careful in supporting a certain project.

For an industry as young as the crypto industry, negative influence from politics could be very bad and even lead to a total shutdown of the industry. It depends greatly on the direction politics play in shaping the crypto industry but I am afraid, like we know, the baggage associated with politics is always never a good thing.

Why did these two have some supporters? First Ver split the community and then he splits his own community. I wouldn't wonder if he will once again split til all are split in half, I guess this is how they divide and conquer Bitcoin in the end. Poor judgement always affect everyone in the circle.

But then of course even if he reads all the comments here, they wouldn't mind because money in their pockets blinded them already.

It is extremely bad for project! Look, this politics caused to dump. Futhermore I will never buy neither bch abc nor bchsv.
So it affects bad for crypto currency industry in general.

I think that this is a big and very confusing game, which in the end will be very beneficial to the creators of these currencies.

I think all this controversy in the crypto area is not good.
The communities break apart and weaken themselves.
Moreover, all these forks are very confusing for people who do not have much to do with crypto.

They may not be harmful, but they do not bring benefits either, they are only interested in benefits!

Most of the time in political war common peoples gets suffered & in this crypto political war between Craig wright & roger ver took the price of BTC from 7000$ to 3200$. Because of this political war small investors got hurt & the whales accumulated more BTC & top altcoins on their portfolio.

Cryptocurrency policy in any case will have serious opportunities, because by and large everything in it is turned into anarchism. That is, everything is actually very interesting and smarter than we think.

I do not think that crypto politics is bad for the e blockchain, we are coming to realise now that the Governments all over the would has seen blockchain and know the potential even though many are not acknowledgjng it because if Cryptocurrencies but the advanced ones are already looking for ways to tap into the Blockchain revolution, others would soon follow suit.

Depends on the politics. If you look at the ethereum classic and ethereum parts you will see that it was a good fork for ethereum which increased the price of it by a lot and helped the crypto space with all the new features they brought into their blockchain as well, all the tokens and ICO's and collectibles and many other stuff on the ethereum blockchain today owes a big thank you to that fork and the team behind it.

Still, like the OP suggests the bitcoin cash war didn't helped anyone and hurt the economy too badly that we still couldn't recover from. Which means politics just like in real life could affect crypto space in a good manner or bad manner, it doesn't mean it will have just bad or just good results, it all depends on the politics and how it is implemented.

I think crypto politics is not necessary at this early stage of the blockchain technology development,what the crypto community needs now is maximum cooperation,politics would  always divide us

Exactly. The effects of crypto politics have done more harm than any good. Separatists of a specific blockchain, would do whatever they can to ruin the image or reputation of the original blockchain. Bitcoin Cash started well with many people supporting it. However, after the hard fork, the perception has changed due to the incompetence of devs and leaders from both factions (BCH and SV) trying to usurp power over the original BCH blockchain. Now, we have two completely different chains with nearly the same vision from one another.

As such, both BCH (ABC) and BSV aim to scale in the same manner by increasing their block sizes. Of course, BSV may have activated some OPCODES that were disabled in BCH, but it doesn't make it much different from the original chain except for a few minor tweaks. Real innovations and development are what makes a cryptocurrency unique from others. So far, Bitcoin SV hasn't implemented something impressive that's not available on other coins. On the other hand, Bitcoin Cash aims to adopt Avalanche consensus, but its current state is like many altcoins we know and love today.

Instead of the Hash War taking place back in Nov 15th, 2018 both sides (Craig and Roger) would've come together in an agreement to preserve the image/reputation of the BCH blockchain. But due to political and economic interests, that didn't happen making many people lose hope in crypto. Even if Bitcoin (BTC) didn't had anything to do with this, it was surely affected in price, probably because BCH carries the Bitcoin branding/name making people believe that they're the same thing.

Nonetheless, I hope that the events occurred on November will be a lesson to many when considering splitting from an original chain. Just my thoughts ;D

In any case, politics and money are inseparable concepts. And, unfortunately, the larger the capitalization in cryptography, the more powerful are the mechanisms with manipulations in which crypto-politicians take an active part

Yes. That's the reality with politics. There's corruption and manipulation, with no good results in the long term. What has been seen with several Bitcoin forks lately, is that they have formed political agendas in order to make more money and not benefit the whole Blockchain ecosystem. This has been the case with both Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV. Instead of fighting each other claiming the title of the "Original Bitcoin", they should work together to make the Blockchain industry a better place.

The immaturity of both sides has caused a large downtrend in market prices for most cryptocurrencies. It's been nothing but a stunt in order to make more money in the long run. It shows us that greed goes on top of everything in crypto land. Many Bitcoin forks have emerged with the same purpose, without delivering true usability for the mainstream world.

Which is why, I believe that crypto politics is extremely bad for the Blockchain industry. After all, Satoshi intended for Bitcoin to remain free from middleman or third-parties. The huge manipulation by Roger Ver and Craig Wright shows us otherwise. Despite this, it's hoped that in the future, everything would turn out to become decentralized and free from human intervention. Just my opinion :)

As long as projects are handled by a team of developers and not just one, expect some disputes, that will eventually lead to splits, to happen. I do not think it is particularly that bad. Investors tend to always move on and don't get stuck to a particular issue.

Actually blockchain technology having life since the invention of crypto currencies.I don't think it is completely bad because crypto currencies got lot of attention in this world because of this politics so it actually making the cryptos recognized but maybe in the negative way.But still it can reach more poeple so people understand the cryptos will help to accept on more rate.

The problem I see here is not the forks themselves, everyone can propose his own ideas and projects and let people decide, the problem is the way they promote their projects. They don't talk about the good they can do but, instead of that, they attack other projects or even bitcoin. If you are not into crypto and you look at this from outside you don't see smart people proposing ideas but an egomaniacs war where everyone spreads dirt in every direction. If you see this from outside you will turn back and run away.

Control and power over the market yields struggles from opposing voices. Cryptocurency would do a lot better without political effects on it but then it's impossible to have a crypto without politics because a billions of dollars is involved

Nice post I must say. Crypto politics is really very bad for crypto space. I remember vividly the downsides of the hash wars of last year, it wasn't funny. Thanks for this post, I'll also like to see other views of other crypto enthusiasts. 

the main capital in crypto currency investments is the belief that bad and negative news developments and anything that creates crypto currencies will not panic investors with falling prices or value

I think what people are calling politics is people having different opinions and views on issue, if well managed with sincerity it is very good, but if it is done just to show ego, it will not end well. I am not calling BCash fork a failure yet but with the look of things it could end bad for those side because it was much on ego and not on how to make the project better

I think we should stay away from politics of any nature especially from the newly growing crypto market and the only thing we need to support is healthy competition with positive mindset.

If this happens, it's certainly very bad. I can't agree if crypto is associated with politics. Because this will have a bad impact on crypto. Because, politics in some people is not very suitable. Because they do everything they can for their own interests.

I think that both these coin most people perceive as hard fork, and likely these coin buy only in purposes kharabotka in short term. Only in Bitcoin people invest in the long term and I personally think that this is the right choice.

I have always been negative about politics. This is a very bad industry. So I think it doesn't do any good for crypto.

We have learned a lot from the politicians in BCH and how greedy they are. These politicians wanna get anything from crypto and if they wanna create domination to the crypto industries. This will create a centralized ecosystem that gives a huge impact on the crypto. Look at there was a bunch of hardfork caused by bitcoin cash hardfork.

at first I thought that crypto was not at all influenced by political conditions but I was wrong, because crypto is a currency and also an asset whose fans are global society so that when something happens that has a negative impact on the real world it will also have a negative impact on crypto

The simply thing is that economic wants to grow or not will depends so much on political policies  and cryptocurrency and Blockchain is a part of economic

actually I myself don't understand this technology correctly. I only came to the crypto market to trade, because I knew from this market that I could improve my economy. if this market moves related to the economy that is in the world, obviously it will be very relevant. because we know that this market is supported by technology that is used by many industries in the world.

What politics do you mean? Because I think crypto has nothing to do with politics, crypto has its own space. Besides that Blockchain also has its own space, Blockchain is not a technology that is only used for crypto but also in several aspects such as business, medical, bank, energy, finance, etc.

Some how yes? If the politics create a hype that might turn the market of one crypto down, then, I can say it is not good to support this kind of politics like what the founder of bitcoin SV does to bitcoin hashes.

I think the price speculation and regulations from government is denoted as politics here,but it is right that it may bring bad attractions to the people who want to use Blockchain technology for their needs.

involving politics in crypto in my opinion is a bad choice, in the end crypto will not really implement a decentralized system, there will be those who although not regulating but can control crypto through the political problems they make and use the panic they make for their own benefit

When politics come to blockchain technology, there will definitely be a lot of interest from each party who wants to profit and they will try so many times to get those profit. Politics will be rude for every people, and they don't know who the friend, who is the enemy because they only think about the profit is. As many of us state that there will be too many speculation and prediction from the political inside the crypto, we will see the crypto world will turn up and down too often, and it will look different than now.

Yes it is. Anything politics entered always get issues, take the world government s an example. Blockchain will last long term if the true ideology is always respected. Politics should be removed 

Crypto politics of the one man is bad. Look what one man caused not only to Bitcoin, but to all cryptocurrencies. Massive dump that lasts even today.
Yes, I am talking about Fake Satoshi.

Political economy and technological development are something that is interconnected with one another because it is a unit and bitcoin or other crypto currencies and created using technological advancements and the development of the era of our beliefs and patience are the main keys in the success of investment with currencies crypto

You also think that many people who now have real opportunities for changing information will be able to suffer greatly, because it is thanks to the blockchain that we can make it so that the information cannot be changed.

Oath protocol is a very good project. The main problem is that Blockchain community is new and there is no jury to trust on. Oath is doing a very good thing to revolutionize crypto.

I think till there is nothing will be affected by the implement of Crypto policy still now but if anything was being uncomfortable for cryptocurrency field then it will definitely affect the price and the development of this field.

Definitely not, crypto currencies are a big part of the whole blockchain technology and I think both of them will get mass adopted in a short period of time. We just need to wait for the market changes first.

I have already paid attention to this project several times. I think it's better to explore it in more detail. maybe he is trustworthy

in a short time it will not work. cryptocurrency to earn acceptance should take about 5 years or maybe more

I gave always known that politics is everywhere, but I did not know how much it is in the crypto space, not until I started discovering some of the reasons for some hardforks.
Different people with their opinions and vision. Someone who was formerly supporting g the vision of another man and is part of the team, might suddenly decide to change his view.

Exactly. Unfortunately, that's been the case with many Bitcoin forks after the inception of Bitcoin Cash. It's all about greed, instead of helping Blockchain technology mature for the real world. What we've seen is several splinter factions out of the original Bitcoin blockchain, aiming to take BTC's place as the first-largest cryptocurrency in market cap. There hasn't been true innovation, but rather disagreements between separate factions.

Because of this, politics in crypto land does more harm than any good. Different Bitcoin forks will seek to disrupt each other, until they become useless and worthless within the mainstream world. Of course, it's good to have a variety of cryptocurrencies with their unique approach to scalability. But too much politics is what harms their adoption over the long term.

Nonetheless, if different cryptocurrencies would've been working together instead of fighting each other, things would've been much better within the Blockchain industry. Just my opinion :)

Bad industry? in my opinion not but indeed the risk here is quite large. and still not so ready. for example now there are so many ico but there is no supervision whether ico is an indication of a scam or not

crypto is a currency, whether it is possible for a currency to become a political tool it seems impossible. but if it is true that crypto is a political tool, the first time it will be affected is business people, they will experience an economic crisis, hopefully all of that is just a hoax. because a news can have a negative impact on crypto price movements.

Pros and cons always occur in crypto especially about forks, but for bitcoin cash and bsv this is very unfortunate, it is now a shitcoin which is a concern, there is no real thing they are aiming for, bitcoin still stands firm and slowly but surely bitcoin will have more value and continues to increase, we will see investors going back to bitcoin.  The politics of the crypto industry are of concern and bitcoin remains the strongest.

Well, I do not consider it as a good or a bad thing. It is actually interesting- the only thing that matters is your vision and the power of your supporters. I am on the side of BTC, but everything what competition has to do is connected with their reach between millions of people- difficult, but not impossible. Crypto does not really allow usage of politics as any potential hater might just make his own blockchain if he wants to  ;D. On the other hand, it must be ridiculous in the eyes of the people when two guys argue about "internet money" from their point of view and I do not think that they support these activities. For long term it is fine, but you do not want to scare too many potential customers right at the start. 

In some sort of way, it's good to have competition as it enables different crypto projects to innovate in many ways. However, when things become fierce with separatist factions by trying to destroy each other, that's when everything goes wrong. Both Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV could've parted ways in a peaceful manner. Instead, they've decided to make a showdown trying to prove which is the original Bitcoin, and harming crypto's valuation across the market.

After all, Bitcoin was meant to be an apolitical cryptocurrency. Politics bring corruption, and fraud, which is something Blockchain technology was intended to overcome. Over time, bad figures within the crypto space will be taken out of the equation for good (like Roger Ver and Craig Wright) as people embrace decentralization at its fullest. Therefore, one way or the other, crypto politics will end, or it'll leave a negative impact within the Blockchain industry. Just my opinion :)

I think it will depend of the political issues if their subjects are in favor of the block chain or not but in general, bad or good will benefits the system as it will become more famous as it was become the talk of the town. The more the issues the more the popularity that the blockchain will gain.

Here is the thing, two polar opposites makes the existence possible, so without the negatives, positives can't exist, it's all good for Blockchain industry.

No I think not, block chain competition is what makes the cryptocurrency better and develop much better than before. If there is no politics here on crypto, the standards of the crypto will be forever be the same.

As I know, underground financial forces ( such as 5 most powerful forces in Wall street) can dominate politics and lead it in their direction, and crypto market is also no exception if they want.

What if blockchain will going to be utilized in politics? It would be a good decision. We just need to turn the tables. Use blockchain to election that is the best IDEA to use!

Good point. Sometimes, a little competition is needed to help the blockchain space mature. While I'm not a big fan of forks, the diversity of cryptocurrencies across the market will allow people to have a variety of options to choose from. However, when things become too fierce because of greed, then all could be put down to waste. That's what happened with both Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV as crypto politics have had a negative impact across the whole market.

Nonetheless, the Blockchain industry could succeed if there weren't any infighting across factions without obtaining positive results. Just my thoughts ;D

But it divides the people, having politics creates bad impression by the new comers.
Well they really don't care about who are coming in.
As long as they can pass their agenda's that's all what matters to them.

crypto politics have a big impact in the market as people are doing psychological attack to those affected by it. Good and bad effects are creating the volatility, but in the end, only facts we should concern about.

Yes. When there's too much crypto politics, you get a bad image of the whole ecosystem within the outside world. That's what happened with Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV's drama within the Blockchain industry. It was all about greed, rather than making crypto land a better place. The Hash War back in November 2018, has caused many uncertainties for the future of BCH. While the waters are calmed now, most people have fled from BCH into Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency.

Of course, there's nothing bad with diversity and competition. However, separate factions fighting against each other instead of resolving things in a peaceful manner will bring the destruction of Blockchain's reputation as we know it. Hence, only time will tell us what lies ahead for the future of crypto as different ideals begin to emerge. Just my thoughts ;D

If these two chains were never forked and stayed to bitcoin.
Imagine on how big the market is right now.
Adding all of those market caps that they have and people living without debates on what's better.

Been bad or good always depends on the the descendants of the information been carried out there. One way or the other been able to stand by your views and values will send some positive signal out there and bring a lot on board but trust me some news too will go a long run to scare others from the digital world.

in my opinion, with the political element coming into crypto, it will worsen the crypto condition because of the ambitions of each party, crypto politics can have a negative impact on others. and they will only divide people who have become solid crypto fans.

I feel you, mate. All the Bitcoin forks that have emerged since August 2017, have impacted Bitcoin's dominance across the market in a bad way. With many opposing factions trying to "fix" the Bitcoin blockchain, many people have lost credibility in cryptocurrencies. Every time there's a new fork of the original Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain, Bitcoin's share of the market decreases at a slow rate. I guess that if Bitcoin Cash and other Bitcoin forks wouldn't have emerged in the first place, the original Bitcoin would've been much more valuable by now.

But as with everything, there's always disagreements from opposing sides. What's important is to stay as unified as possible and deliver according to one's specific beliefs and vision. Despite the many Bitcoin forks we have today, Bitcoin continues to maintain its vision of being a secure, and resilient store of value for the world to use.

Nonetheless, crypto politics would allow Bitcoin to head separate ways from opposers. In some way, it's good as it will enable a competitive market. But it's bad when it becomes too oppressive with the intent to destroy crypto’s reputation/branding within the mainstream world. Just my opinion :)

I guess one of the things that is killing the industry is the politics because everyone is trying to prove a point just to justify themselves which will in turn lead to so many manipulation.

Exactly. Crypto politics are going to a point where they're destroying the Blockchain industry in its entirety. Take a look of what happened with Bitcoin Cash last year, and Craig's forked version of it called Bitcoin SV. It's been nothing but a mess, especially in the eyes of people within the mainstream world. This has cause large uncertainty among investors into Bitcoin Cash, making most of them flee back into the original Bitcoin (BTC) again. If things would've gone much smoother, then BCH and BSV could've parted separate ways in a peaceful manner.

However, that's not been the case, as crypto politics has negatively impacted BCH's price within the crypto market. Right now, Bitcoin Cash is the sixth largest cryptocurrency by market cap, when it used to be the fourth largest cryptocurrency across the market. The series of events happened back in November 2018 shows nothing but the desire of greed among both camps (both BCH and BSV).

Nonetheless, I'm afraid that crypto politics could negatively impact the Blockchain industry if they become too oppressive. It's good to have competition though, but when things become too fierce, that's when everything starts to fail. Just my opinion :)

Strange what exactly do you think is here for a crypto policy? If you take into account the policies of different states, in general, they are all set up not very well for cryptocurrencies, but I think that all this is still temporary. Cryptocurrencies and blockchains are our future.

As long as people trusting others then they were not yet ready to use crypto currencies.

You should use cryptos for your own benefits if you are just influenced by others then benefit for you is nothing.

It is not harmful for the industry, because there were and always will be different opinions. I believe that such things as by Bitcoincash could lead to the progress in our industry, because there would be more effective blockchains.

maybe it would have a good impact on crypto because it might make crypto more attractive to many people.
and differences of opinion are indeed a natural thing because it is impossible for all to be in the same direction.

That's true. However, when things become too fierce among competing factions, that's when everything can go wrong (like what happened with BCH and BSV). Despite this, differing opinions can part their ways without harming each other in a peaceful manner. Which means that if different projects with different opinions and beliefs, part their separate ways peacefully, things will be much better for the Blockchain industry.

What's important is to give a good impression to people out there in the mainstream world who've never used crypto before. Because when there's an oppressive environment with the ambitions of greed, it will cause many newcomers to flee from cryptocurrencies at their entirety. Which is why, I believe that crypto will do better without politics at all. Just my thoughts ;D

Blockchain innovation never stops. crypto user needs are numerous and the public has great enthusiasm for crypto growth. I think crypto politics appears to create new markets that can satisfy the public. so. let crypto politics color every market activity. the point is the crypto world is never influenced by real politics or geopilitic politics.

Exactly. Blockchain will never stop bringing innovation to the mainstream world. While it's true that crypto politics can sometimes create a diversion between different projects, it's somewhat positive as it promotes competition. The more Blockchain-based projects emerge in the mainstream world, the better as it will help the technology mature in many ways that were never thought possible. Because if only one coin would've been the dominant Blockchain project in the world (like Bitcoin), then it would be of no use as it stops innovation.

Which is why, I believe that diversity is key towards helping the Blockchain industry grow over time. However, when things become fierce as a result of greed, that's where everything will come down to an end. Hopefully, Bitcoin will live alongside many altcoins for many years to come. What's important is that crypto stays apart from a central leader, since after all it was designed to be free from middleman in the first place. Just my thoughts ;D
