ATM Operator BitcoinPlug Considers “Core an Attack Against Bitcoin”

It is evident there will continue to be a lot of bickering regarding Bitcoin. Whichever form of this currency may succeed in the end, things have turned into a kindergarten as of right now. Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and SegWit2x all claim to be the real Bitcoin blockchain. Whether or not that will be the case, remains to be seen. All claims are valid,  but BitcoinPlug has taken a rather unusual stance.

There's a saying that you shouldn't argue with an idiot, because it will bring you down to his level [and they will win with their experience]. In some cases propagandists apply this tactic by saying that all sides of conflict are equal and that all opinions are valid. The goal of this tactic is to spread chaos and uncertainty in situations when the conflict is actually just black and white. It's clear that SegWit2x and Bcash are attacks on Bitcoin that try to hijack its name, since they don't have any noticeable community support and it's miners and big businesses who seek them for their own personal interests. In this case ATM Operator BitcoinPlug might start selling BCH and B2X with their machines and some clueless people would buy it thinking it's the real Bitcoin, which is probably exactly the goal of forkers.

I am afraid that we'll be seeing more chain splits in the coming years, all claiming to be a Bitcoin killer, and at the same time the real deal. It's funny that despite these idiots aren't in favor of Bitcoin in its current form, they constantly remain using it, and that despite the fact that they could simply fork off and walk their own path -- it will allow them to shape that shitcoin into anything they think Bitcoin is lacking, but no, it's Bitcoin that they are after. Pathetic beings....

it's Bitcoin that they are after. Pathetic beings....

Of course their primary target is Bitcoin, they very well understand that all their attempts to create a Bitcoin competitor will be nothing more than a wasted effort. The forks they come up with are blatant money making opportunities for them, and that's really it. Look at Bitcoin Cash, it was Jihan and Ver's proud 'creation', and yet they seem to allocate more time in getting ready for Segwit2x than their Cash coin - this just confirms that it is nothing than a money making opportunity, where they now move on to the next thing (Segwit2x). Other than that, everyone who's against Core is just a delusional troll and drama queen, but as always, people here are free to feel and express themselves the way they want.
