They owned the domain bitcoin . com, and marketed their shitfork to people as âthe real Bitcoinâ, for YEARS after. How is that not a scam??

Easy: they really believe it.
I find that very hard to believe. But even if true, it doesnât change the fact that it is a scam
You find that hard to believe that Roger really really thinks that small-blocker-conspiracy existed and exists? Seriously?
For me it is totally obvious that he really believes that.
I do believe that too btw⌠at least in a small extent.
I agree. The big blockers were censored on Reddit and Bitcoin Talk. This is well known. Blockstream was given $21 million to make sidechains, but instead they created a multisig and called it Liquid.
I think the conspiracy is that big blocks have no "use case". Of course they have a use case! They are just a terrible idea for L1, and should be an L2 drivechain.
Instead of admitting both sides are right and wrong about many things, they all double down on their nonsense. Divide and conquer.
Do I think that Roger still believes his idea to change Bitcoin was a good one? Sure. But thatâs the beauty of Bitcoin, it doesnât care about one actor with a bad idea.
Do I believe Roger believes it is morally ok to market BCash as âthe real Bitcoinâ, 7 years after the market rejected his idea? LMFAO absolute not. And if he does, he is by definition insane. This is the scam, regardless of his sanity.
Everyone is a scammer and Bitcoin doesnât care. đ¤ˇđź
I still think that interview was awesome and would recommend it to everyone who got orange-pilled in the early days and experienced the block-size war from its start till today.
Fair enough, I will try to find the courage to stomach the smug fart sniffing lies and give it a second try
