After publishing our series on Angelina Lazar’s war against OneCoin, one of our readers has accused Bitcoiners of bitter jealousy towards OneCoin. However, in a strong worded reply, Lazar has accused the leaders at Onecoin of sheer manipulation.

“Bitcoin is simply jealous”

In an email to Cointelegraph, a reader accused Lazar of being jealous of OneCoin, hence her “war against OneCoin.” The reader claims that the attack comes from Bitcoiners who are simply jealous of the increasing popularity of OneCoin. He further alleged a form of resistance by Bitcoiners out of fear that OneCoin will eventually replace Bitcoin as the number one cryptocurrency.

“Stop being jealous,” the reader writes in his email to Cointelegraph. “As a OneCoiner I know that Bitcoin is very jealous that OneCoin is doing much better than Bitcoin and will soon replace Bitcoin all the way because Bitcoin is too expensive and is losing ground. Stop bringing lies on the Internet that OneCoin is a scam or ponzi scheme, because it is not!”

Never heard of it until now, but reading a bit about it, I would have to say that jealousy is not one of the problems that people have with it:
