If "Bcash" is such a scam and has no value why is everyone taking a swipe at it and why do trolls invest so much time here?
Ever since Bitcoin gained value it has attracted all sorts of bad actors trying to make a buck at any cost. Some are obvious like low level thieves who try to steal people's coins or private keys, while others play a more advanced game like Amaury Sechet's recent attempt at directly siphoning off 8% of newly minted Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin has a big target on it and always will so long as it has value.
Lets take a look at some attempts at profiting off Bitcoin in the past few years.
Around 2017 Blockstream halted Bitcoin's scaling while Blockstream's employees Greg Maxwell and Peter Wiulle offered their SegWit "solution" to Lightning. Four years later Lightning still hasn't reached 1/10th feature parity with Bitcoin onchain, while Liquid has low fee transactions, no send limits, offline sending, fast transactions, the works. They've certainly had no problems selling their Liquid solution when Bitcoin fees are high instead of promoting Lightning.
Then Craig Wright the conman came along and tried to take over BCH around 2018. He played along with the community but when decisions where made that didn't go along with his plan, he threw a fit, showed his true colors and made threats and attempts to destroy both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash. His threats weren't empty as he had Billionaire Calvin Ayre backing him with millions invested in his own miners and hashrate. Not to mention the battle over the BCH ticker and name.
This year we had Amaury Sechet the original developer for Bitcoin Cash try to force his developer tax of 8% onto Bitcoin Cash. Naturally the community kicked him out.
2 of the 3 recent attacks have been on Bitcoin Cash not Bitcoin. Not to mention of all the 50+ Bitcoin forks, why does Bitcoin Cash get it's own pet name? Why doesn't Bitcoin SV or Bitcoin Gold get a pet name? Adam Back always referred to Bitcoin Gold by it's full and proper name, but always uses "Bcash" for Bitcoin Cash.
