Bitcoin Cash = BCH
THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE, YA DINGUS!
Bitcoin is bitcoin while Bitcoin Cash is simply another altcoin that is trying to cash in on the good name of bitcoin.
Let's stop trying to pretend they're the same thing. Its an absolute travesty that whoever runs bitcoin.com would publish an article stupid enough trying to say they are the same thing, when they most clearly ARE NOT.
Here's a couple other reasons:
Was Bitcoin Cash founded by Satoshi Nakamoto? NO.
Do _any_ merchants that you can think of off the top of your head actually accept BCH? NO.
Will merchants be more likely to accept BCH in the future, now that they've just barely wrapped their heads around the concept of bitcoin and begun to integrate payment acceptance mechanisms for it? NO!
This is by far the biggest and most sinister pump job of an altcoin I've ever seen. If you're gonna make your own coin, at least come up with your own damn name! BCH reeks of unoriginality and is greed at its worst. This kind of behavior is what turns off the general public from wanting to get involved in crypto in the first place.
Critics what say ye? I'm all ears.
I have not seen anywhere that an offshoot of either a person, figure, thing or commodity outshine the original which is why there cannot be two bitcoin and since bitcoin is still in existence, we cannot have another one taking its place. There cannot be two ETHs and ETC cannot be outshine ETH is the same way BCH cannot replace BTC no matter the amount of forks that happened from it.
However, I see it being with us for a long term because they will continue to operate in the shadow of the original which means as the original gets more popular, they get a portion of it which keeps them within reach. Aside that, nothing else can come out of it.
