tl;dr: Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is marketing itself as Bitcoin (BTC), scamming consumers into thinking they are buying Bitcoin at a lower price. Its backers use at least three sites to perpetuate this scam—Bitcoin.com, Reddit (r/BTC) and Twitter (@Bitcoin). Scams have no place on Coinbase, perhaps the best-known American digital asset exchange. But by adding Bitcoin Cash alongside its three other assets, Coinbase has helped legitimize BCH’s scam, inviting a regulatory crackdown in this industry’s early years.

Everyone, including the spammers should read that blog. I do not know who "MG" is but he has made very important points on Bitcoin Cash's predetermined attack on Bitcoin by trying to make people believe that "Bitcoin Cash is the real Bitcoin".

A simple look at the Bitcoin.com website will show this.

I know the spammers out number the real Bitcoiners by 5 to 1. But please, if you're going to spam the forum, be adequately educated and campaign for the truth. I know you spammers are here only for the money. Then help us grow Bitcoin's value by spreading the right information about Bitcoin! More money for you.

We couldn't stop that easily if you trying to pull it down then there will be a chain effect on bitcoin core. I Guess?! because there's alot of newbies coming in to join our crypto space but the brighter side here they could see that bitcoin core is the main source of all currencies.

This is not enough to drive the coin down, he may be a big whale in the early years of bitcoin but not as much again. Roger ver had always done this, promoting his idea but the community is bigger than him.

but Bitcoin Cash does not qualify as a "scam". It is a competitor.

competitors are the 1500+ altcoins that are out there which also happen to have very unique names and started from scratch even though they forked the code from some other project. and they never claim to be "real bitcoin", they sometimes claim to replace bitcoin which is bullshit but that doesn't make them scam.
but when a coin which is NOT bitcoin tells everyone that it IS bitcoin, that makes it scam.

with that said, unfortunately the exchanges which earn money from fees,... sometimes don't care about these things. and BCH has a decent volume which makes enough incentive for places like Coinbase to keep it there.

The crypto market is growing and is well known. Many people start to learn and invest in it. It helps scammers to take away other people's money easily. As you can see, many people are trying to sell the BCH and spread it like a real Bitcoin to help push prices up, sharks trying to swallow the newbie.

I disagree. If you fully read the blog, you will see how Roger Ver is trying to trick the newbies and making them think that Bitcoin has split into Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Cash. Why call it "Bitcoin Core" in the first place? Is he trying to make them believe that Bitcoin Cash also has legitimate claim to the Bitcoin brand?

What a crafty little mole he is.

Well, yes and no. It is true that those behind Bitcoin.com want to call Bitcoin Cash the "real" Bitcoin. And they use "Bitcoin Core" to refer to Bitcoin. It would be better if these folks did not own that domain.

On the other hand their guide to buying Bitcoin, which includes a link to buying Bitcoin through a credit card (through Simplex which I assume they are partnering with), is for buying actual Bitcoin, not Bitcoin Cash.

Personally I favor Bitcoin over Bitcoin Cash, but Bitcoin Cash does not qualify as a "scam". It is a competitor.

People are going to have to get used to forks happening in this industry. Forks are a fundamental property of open source software and it is going to continue.
