In their own words
“Bitcoin cash has fast cheap reliable transactions. The thing that everybody's calling Bitcoin today has been hijacked by people that don't even want it to be usable as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system.”
Key points from the latest interview
- Bitcoin Cash enables fast, cheap, and reliable transactions globally, maintaining properties Roger Ver believes the original Bitcoin was designed to have.
- Bitcoin Core's artificial block size limit has resulted in high fees and slow transactions, diverging from the peer-to-peer electronic cash system described in Bitcoin's whitepaper.
- Decentralization serves as a tool to achieve censorship resistance and monetary control, not as an end goal in itself.
- Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Core use identical mining algorithms and hardware, with miners switching between them based on profitability.
- Bitcoin Cash community meetups occur regularly worldwide, with Japan hosting weekly Wednesday meetups and more merchants accepting Bitcoin Cash than Bitcoin Core.
