It was one of his big hopes that people will be fed up with high fees and slow network and will switch to BCC. His bet was called and we all found out he was bluffing. There's no wide acceptance of BCC, there's no gold rush, there's no abandoning BTC for it and there's no competition between these two coins.
Roger lost a battle, but it's not over yet. BCC may some day become a competitive, popular altcoin, like ETH, but it will never be a bitcoin's successor.
But Ethereum is pure fraud.. a "fuel token" ICO scam "scheme coin" ICO coin cloning shitcoin platform.
"popular" means sweet fuck all.
BCC ? The crypto-idiot-dregs in "crypto" gove 0 shits about it.. they care about ROI's.
If punch an old lady in the head ICO was paying out they would dive on it hard with out question.
So the metric that something is popular (like Doge coin) is fucking retarded.
"
crypto" failed.. long ago.
I agree with Jolly's assertion here but at least he tried to help fix the very broken Bitcoin.
Problem is "crypto" does not care.
Note: i couldn't care less about the guy either way.
I am not against him or siding with him.
EDIT:The majority does not care about BTC as a currency.. only as a commodity to trade and hoard and ..profit from.
The actual usability and tech behind is of no concern to them.
It being used as intended (as a currency) is of no interest to the profiteers.
The fact it's broken and rising in price is sort of fucked up i think.
THAT aspect has to be tantamount in any and all discussions or plans for Bitcoin.
You are expecting people who do not care.. to care.
They won't.
You are wasting your time.
They will ask what is in it for me ? How much do i get paid from this new coin scheme ?
By dumping the new forked coin they get their answer.. and there by killing off their support for it.
Apparently i am the only one telling the Investards in crypto...
Ask what you can do for crypto.. not what crypto can do for you.EDIT2:Now that i think about i think Roger probably should have gone down with the ship hard.
He should have shown a large token of faith and that may have even helped it succeed.
But.. the reality is he probably knew like the rest of us the chances of it succeeding was slim.
So he hedged his bet and that is sensible and rational if you think about it.
The name of the game is not going down with the ship for the sake of it.
With his money still he may still be able to "save Bitcoin".. or what ever his agenda is.
And yeah you can all chant "it didn't fail yet".
But i call bullshit..
If something is going to be a success (Bigger than Bitcoin) it's obvious from the start.
Then you have to factor in the amount of Altcoins there is (context)
Yup.. topics on it are in fact listed in the Altcoin section.. it's an Altcoin guys.
And no Altcoin has has had a shred of success in the slightest.
Context..
It's rather sad and pittiful.
People in crypto are not willing to take a risk nor are they interested in tech (why this forum was started)
They think "crypto" means "coinz" not.. cryptography and why it was used in the fist place.
No one cares about succeeding the block-chain concept.. they think using it with a gimmick is "innovation".
And since it failed with Bitcoin (
the biggest coin in crypto) it was up the scene to take a RISK and support a new system.
What they chose to do was ICO everything. I got out of crypto in 2013 when i realized how pitiful the situation is in "crypto".
Once i realized the mind set and behavior of the majority who control it i realized it's doomed.
Anyway Ver's only shot in hell is convincing idiots here who can barley speak English or tie their shoes that BCC is in their best (financial) interest.. otherwise it's not going anywhere.It's about pajeets earning enough BTC dust to buy their first pair of shoes.
Yes, shoe ownership is a big thing in some countries.
Maybe he should pull an Ethereum and get all the coins and spam the scene about it then pump it to death and hire a team to spam the forum about it everywhere.
It worked for Butters and what is left of his "holdings" he dumped.
Kind of funny how you talk like this on this topic when V. Butters premines himself a fortune then admits multiple times to dumping millions worth then admits too to not "believing in his" coin.
And you think i am just spouting off "FUD" ?
I ran a poll during the peak of ETH's first big pump hysteria and the users here said about 75% they did not believe in it but they will participate in trading it for profits.
That is all crypto is about now.
100% premine / ledger ICO ROI's.
Some block chain stuff is of no concern to these fucking pieces of shit flooding this place.
They are not crypto supporters or enthusiasts.
They are investards hoping to buy dump and cash out to FIAT and buy candy and toys.
Really the minority needs to put the majority little shits in their place.
Until then the crypto toilet will keep flushing.
A transfer of control is needed or.. convince the lemmings here to do what you want them to do.
