Given the surge of trolls in this subreddit lately, here is some history information about Bitcoin Cash for newcomers.

For any newbies coming here wondering why there is so much trolling against Bitcoin Cash, including anti-BCH propaganda and lies, I would like to spread awareness about this issue.

Bitcoin Cash, the peer to peer electronic cash system, shifts the dynamics of power from the elites back to the people. This is a threat to the survivability of the banks and regimes seeking to control the masses through the financial system. And there are many direct and indirect evidence (outlined below) of such bad actors trying to sabotage the peer to peer cash revolution through various means. We need your help to stand up against such saboteurs. Unity is our strength and we should make a righteous stand against the toxic bullies and shifts the power from the elites back into the people hands. Just by speaking up and spreading awareness on this, and refusing to stay silent about it, you’re making a difference, and for that, I thank you.

This is going to be a very long post, please bear with me. And it’s a very long post precisely because the bad actors had tried so many different things to sabotage the peer to peer cash project throughout the years.

• For people who are new, please note that this is what Bitcoin Cash is up against. Someone has been constantly funding propaganda and sockpuppets and misinformation campaigns against Bitcoin Cash everyday for the whole of the last 5 years.

• There is consistent trolls/harassments/smear campaigns against Bitcoin Cash the last 5 years. Who is funding all these propaganda campaigns? Apparently, one of the accounts funding it is a “Golden Employer” with over 100,000 tasks paid. That’s a really big number even if you spread it over 10 years.

• Mike Hearn and Gavin wanted to prevent Bitcoin from being hijacked, so they created a fork. That fork didn't survived after they were heavily DDOS. Mike Hearn was heavily character assassinated by what I believe to be orchestrated paid campaigns by Blockstream. And of course, now that Mike Hearn is gone, the character assassination campaigns are directed at Bitcoin Cash main supporters like Roger Ver.

• Personally, I was involved in some Bitcoin Cash projects and there had been multiple DDOS attacks and other stuff, such as flooding my inbox with few hundred thousand emails per day. I'm sure those activities are not for profit, so why are they doing it?

• Here's a survey which reveal what most people already knew, that BTC had been compromised already. Link: https://np.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/e61fyz/poll_results_are_in_53_2296_votes_have_declared/f9n5lma/

The global banking elites control over trillion dollars in assets. They can afford to throw few million dollars each day to protect their massive business empires. If I were them, I would make the same choice. It’s a no brainer. They don’t have to win; each day they sabotage the adoption of peer to peer cash, their trillion dollars empire survive another day while the rest of the population suffers.

There are actually plenty more nasty unethical things BTC bullies had done which is not covered here. Bitcoin Cash is an attempt to rescue what the bad actors had hijacked successfully, mainly the peer to peer cash revolution. And it won't be the last time the bad actors will try to find ways to sabotage this project.

And we need your help. Bitcoin Cash does not care if you are black, white, Asian, male, female, American, Iranian, Chinese… We are all about bringing economic freedom and financial sovereignty to the world, increasing quality of lives to everyone and putting the power back into the people hands. We are in this together.
