The community is only 13 days old. Frequently I see post on all from either the mod or new accounts all ranting about bch or related sites and they’re all super excited to tell you about it. I mean look at the pinned post and replies for goodness sake.
All new accounts. All just loving bch so much and super excited to tell you about it. A lot of the posts have strikingly similar formats too. Like bold sub-title paragraph of text and repeat. Reeks of botting/astroturfing. Just me or nah? Im going to post again regarding lemmy being cool with bots auto posting links to off site frequently, but that’s a rant for another day.
Well, it got a huge initial user base for free, as every Bitcoin account technically was also holding Bitcoin Cash account, as long as they never accept the next protocol update. But having a huge starting advantage does not change the fact that it’s simply an abandoned fork which people are clutching to for no reason besides the possibility of being the biggest fish in the dumbest pond.
But by doing that, they add significant confusion to the market, they erode trust in Bitcoin and crypto in general, frankly, it’s a scam.
