I used to be BTC maxi, but things have changed now.

The first I first came into crypto world, was briefly before the BTC / BCH fork. I had zero idea of any technicalities, how does this magic internet money works or what was it made for. After the fork I had both BTC and BCH as I thought it was cool to have any kind of Bitcoin.

Prices started tumbling down, I cashed out. Fast forward to august 2020 I had a lot of time and decided to listen to some podcasts about Bitcoin as it was starting to steam. I’ve had around 2000 hours minutes of podcasts mainly from one Guy and learning tons of things about economics, current status, history of money, technicalities of Bitcoin, the blockchain, the energy consuming issues or all the scenarios of Bitcoin being banned, you name it, I’ve listened almost everything possible on topic crypto and Bitcoin. I was thrilled. I came to a point where all started to get clear to me, so I’ve put some money to BTC made some more money and started to read about diversification and De-Fi.

I’ve seen now and then talks about some kind of a trend going on, people hating on BCH, saying it’s fake Bitcoin and what not. Then I’ve read about the drama between the both subs here on Reddit. Since I had Bitcoin and never used BCH after I’ve sold it at the end of the last bull market, I thought to myself that these people are fighting over some BS, but still was kinda BTC maxi.

Lately I’ve started seeing how toxic the r/bitcoin community was towards this sub and in general. My opinion started shifting with time. It felt like a fight between siblings about something absolutely dumb and pointless.

The last drops for me were today when I started the newest podcast of the guy I learned so much about everything and he was ripping his arse off to protect bitocoin with all he’s got. Going as further as calling everything except Bitcoin a shitcoins, comparing BCH and ETH with DoGe. This guy was pure toxicity, I couldn’t listen to him anymore. I went on Reddit and wrote a comment asking “what about BCH?” And my comment got removed immediately. These people don’t realize that the only thing they do is that they hurt themselves and their “untainted” network with all that BS.

I’ve made some profit from CoinBase’s rewards and today I’ve swapped all of it to BCH. Next dip - I buy more. Now I am one of you guys even tho I still hodl BTC I do believe that BCH is the way!

The king is dead, long live the king.

TLDR: realized how toxic is BTC community towards BCH, also realized BCH potential and got myself some stack.
