The white paper is a foundation that Bitcoin and the whole cryptocurrency sits. What did BTC do? Disregard it. What did BSV do? Decided to rip most of the improvements that would've complemented the white paper's goal of secure transactions on the web. What did BCH do? Built unto the main idea.

Of course, Bitcoin Cash continued improving and building upon the fact that the white paper was created to solve double-spending, and created the blockchain to minimize the chances of stolen money. We have improved upon the basic idea and created a lot of it.

This and the whole cryptocurrency market should've been under the Bitcoin name if they didn't limit things out and rode the waves of time. A lot of stories from early cryptocurrency developers have a common beginning: BTC was too crippled to be used, so they forked the code and rewrote it into their own. Post-Ethereum developers have a similar backstory, but they have focused upon Ethereum and other similar chains.

However, amongst all the years-long FUD, we have Bitcoin Cash developers creating something big. How big? Well, we did topple the "malevolent dictator" and BCH development is shared between multiple teams. How many teams? Many.

We're still going to get FUD, and BTC (plus the banks) will still send its trolls and haters. But the best course of action is to explain and onboard users that don't know about Bitcoin Cash or cryptocurrencies in general. Get the 99%.

We're losing lots of battles, but we're slowly winning the war.
