as far as "being duped" you apparently don't know what that means. I understand bitcoin deeply after a decade of intense study. I have an opinion based on facts and experience. You might disagree with me, and that's fine, but I have not been "duped". I just require certain things in a monetary network if I am going to store my family's wealth in it. And cheap and easy validation is one of those things.

Bcash is not trustless and therefore I am not interested. I have not been "duped" into believing bcash is not trustless, I KNOW it based on understanding the technology.

If you are comfortable with a network you cannot validate, good for you. Best of luck with that. Personally I am not and I will continue to run the network who's code I run on my laptops. You can call it "fake bitcoin" I dont care what you call it. I don't care what the "original design" was. I know what the code says because I've read it. That's the network I choose, the one I can validate myself. It's really quite simple.

You might again say I've been "duped" into believing i need to validate the network myself. I believe you've been duped into believing you don't need to be able to.

Different opinions. The biggest difference you can see is that your network is down 98% when priced in my network. The market appears to agree with me.

Good luck with your bcash, I'll stick with bitcoin.
