It's the SJW coin.
sigh and in the next breath, an othering with appeal to emotion, profoundly disappointing What else? There is no war without othering. On all sides. Also, they chose that name. It's not any kind of slur or whatever your objection is (except to the extent that calling a conman a conman is an insult - is it, in your opinion?).

Can't wait until BTC pulls back up from this dip so, this thread can go back to Carolina memes and train videos...
That's another very important human flaw. During war all people can think of is peace. But during peace nobody thinks about war. We should, because peace is always temporary, and the better we prepare for war the better chance of surviving. That's some real Niccolò Machiavelli stuff right there...

Come, Ibian, terms like "social justice warrior" are emotionally loaded. You may as well have said "libtard". Really, it is beneath you.

Do you have a counterargument to it? I would like to hear it if so. Being wrong is the highlight of my day, because it's a chance to learn something new. Especially when I turn out to be wrong about a conclusion I don't like, such as in this case. So, if you have something to share?

I think this will the dumpers last gasp. BTC now 3.1X more profitable to mine than BCH. https://fork.lol/Funnily enough, it looks like not even Jihad is mining his "coin". Out of BTC I guess!

Libtard is an actual slur. But the fact is that there are a type of people who refer to themselves as social justice warriors (and a lot of people who don't but think and act exactly like them). You know this, right? It's an actual description, not an ad hom. Well, any more than calling a(n actual) nazi a nazi is. Do you object to the allies referring to nazis as nazis during the war as well?

Also you are part of the problem if you are following this "We have to prepare for war"-stuff, as all preparations for war cause actions that inherently make wars more likely.

Self-preservation is an innate right of any human born on this planet. And preparing for a day when someone might try to attack and eliminate you is also an innate right of self-preservation. It's not begging for war, it's preparing for self-defense.
Anyone who doesn't understand this, really needs to sit down and do some more introspection.
As Satoshi would say, "If you don't get it, then I don't have time to explain it to you."

We can't let them win even once, because that's all it takes. They don't care about logic or morals or any of that stuff. The only way to dislodge them after they take over is through physical violence.
Am i interpreting this correctly that in case that BCH becomes the dominating chain you are here publicly advocating physical violence against BCH-proponents?

Peace is temporary, as already mentioned. And it used to be a lot more frequent than it is now, in our part of the world. War is coming whether we want it or not, whether we prepare or not. Only question is what we do with ourselves until then. Incidentally, the ultimate goal of martial art is not having to use it. Musashi said so, I reached the same conclusion before I heard about him, and even Sun Tzu thought that winning a war without fighting was the better way to go. We have an unprecedented choice. We have more knowledge of history and psychology than at any other point. We know what practical steps we can take to make the future better than the past. The only question is if we will actually do it.

I tried to bring a light hearted joke to this otherwise increasingly tense thread. Your follow up comment is literally a quote from Machiavelli which I pointed out. I would agree with the underlying theme of your message which I interpret as not being too comfortable with your surroundings and be prepared for change. I would add that people should also strive to be adaptable on all levels of thier life. A person can not be prepared for everything but, an adaptable person will survive.

I have laced the planetary crust with anti matter warheads. The promotional film will be released at the appropriate moment should it look like flippage is on the horizon. I even recruited Morgan Freeman to narrate my threats.

I'm saying that the coming global financial collapse will be worse without a version of bitcoin true to Satoshis spirit than with it. Our actions here could literally save lives, maybe a lot of them. But it requires action, and the willingness to accept reality as it is in order to take said action.
