Torque, what would be the purpose of that?
Bitcoin poses the biggest threat to the State, it is the largest and most decentralized cryptocurrency. The State can't control it or shut it down, and they were too late to try and co-op it by cornering the market (like they did with ETH, other pre-mined cryptos, etc.). They also know they can't buy off or manipulate the core development team. So the only game they have left is to sway people away from Bitcoin through social engineering and push them towards other alts, pre-mined and centralized crap that they CAN ultimately control or at least easily fk with.
What kind of coins DO they promote?
These guys were real slick...they started off promoting Bitcoin and only Bitcoin to their followers. Now their attitudes have begun to morph and show their true colors. Trojan horse operatives. They are now promoting BCH primarily, saying that it's the more legit version of Bitcoin. Also things like LTC, ETH, Dash, and a BUNCH of ICO tokens that we all know are complete rubbish. The whole goal is to push people away from Bitcoin now, and into other trash, or at least get people to diversify into a bunch of garbage cryptos. As if all cryptocurrencies are "created equal". It's all about stunting or slowing down the growth of Bitcoin long term.
I mean look at it, other than Bitcoin what other crypto has been under constant and relentless attack? Exactly none. Because none of the others pose any real threat to the State.
Ohh. Thanks for the update Torque. I don't know why people act like this. Have been wondering why bitcoin price increases a bit and go down a bit lately and this explain the reason behind it. However, we bitcoiners can still make things happen just like we use to do whenever any issue hinder the bullish of bitcoin.
