Bitcoin cash

Illegitimate duplicate of the original Bitcoin. The equivalent scenario in the fiat world, would be a minority of people working inside the Federal Reserve suddenly defected and start printing USD on their own, albeit using A4 size papers for their fake money notes.

Blocksize increase alone will not be sufficient, larger block size also means more centralisation. The real upgrade is to move some of the load offchain called Segwit, which is also a prerequisite to lightning network.

Thirdly, if you compare their trends with hundreds of other altcoins, you would then realise the whole project is just another pump and dump scam.
A: Should I buy Bitcoin or Bitcoin cash?

B: Even dogecoin is more legit than bcash. Just buy and hold Bitcoin proper dude.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin is virtual currency created in 2008 by an anonymous person or persons known as Satoshi Nakamoto and is slated to replace the Dollar as the global reserve currency due to its decentralized nature, and limited supply.

No bank can freeze your Bitcoin. No government can seize your Bitcoin. No thief can steal your Bitcoin. You control your private keys, and no one can take your Bitcoin away from you.

Billionaires like Elon Musk have invested in Bitcoin as a store of value that will preserve their wealth. The motto in Bitcoin is HODL, invest, and "hold on for dear life". Never sell, ever.

There will never be more than 21 million Bitcoins circulating in the world, by design. The Federal Reserve (neither federal, nor a reserve) prints money endlessly, then loans it out for interest making them and all of their big banker friends rich in the process. Bitcoin slowly decreases in supply until all 21 million bitcoins have been minted.

Bitcoin sticks it to the man.

Bitcoin is the Internet of money.

Bitcoin is Gold 2.0.

Bitcoin started at $0 per Bitcoin in 2008. Bitcoin hit an all time high on November 8, 2021 when one Bitcoin was worth $67,567.

Bitcoin value is estimated (by some) to reach $1 million dollars per Bitcoin, one day.

Bitcoin has created a new generation of millionaires and billionaires.

Bitcoin is like the invention of the wheel, or the Internet.

Bitcoin can make you rich, or not.

Acquire at least 1 Bitcoin, and your great great grandkids will thank you.
Yo, you heard about that new money, Bitcoin? I be hearin' rappers drop that shit on they tracks, so you know it's legit.

I bought Bitcoin back in 2017, and in 2022 I cashed some in to buy my house, paid in full, in Bitcoin. #thanksbitcoin

Bitcoin Maximalist

A low IQ, low energy Bitcoin-loving bigot who thinks that any coin that has not been approved by the maxis ("shorthand for Bitcoin Maximalist"), should be thought of and labeled as a shit-coin. They are considered to be narcissistic, heavily opinionated and ill-mannered. A bitcoin maximalist will come in hot in almost any discussion but will not answer coherently, especially when their views are debunked.

Some refer to bitcoin maximalists as crypto-thought police, as they often dictate crypto narratives that end up shrouded in misinformation. They speak from an authoritative standpoint about Bitcoin and/or crypto, regardless if their positions and beliefs are based on complete B.S. Bitcoin Maximalists are notorious for using straw man arguments and will often block anyone that calls them out in any public forum.

Bitcoin maximalism ranges from Bitcoin obsession ("sees no other coin but Bitcoin") to Bitcoin conservatism ("believes that other coins can exist, but that Bitcoin is superior and should never change"). It is quite common to see newcomers, especially those coming from other overlapping industries (such as law or economics) taking the position of Bitcoin maximalist to be seen as knowledgable or to fit, despite getting into the space after a few months to a year and with no skin in the game.
Sarah: "It's great to see such a vibrant and open community developing Ethereum. I think I'd like to get involved."

Steve: "You do realize that Bitcoin has like 110% dominance. All other shit coins will go to zero, why bother with Ethereum?"

Sarah: "What evidence do you have that Ethereum will go to zero? Secondly, the DeFi applications are cool, not to mention there are countless applications being built on it, I feel Ethereum will continue to have a bright future."

Steve: "If it's not Bitcoin it's garbage and that's a FACT. Everybody on r/btc and r/bitcoin agrees with me so end of debate. Look, give lightening network like 20 years, and I promise you'll regret going to Ethereum."

Sarah: "You sound like a bitcoin maximalist Steve, having an open mind about crypto helps you know."
