RE: Should @Bitcoin Be Removed From Twitter For Shilling BCH?
Bitcoin doesn't belong to anyone and for BTC to claim it's the one and only true bitcoin goes against the decentralised nature of Bitcoin.
BCH and BTC share the same genesis block. Exchanges may have decided to give one fork the BTC ticker, but it's upto people to decide which they feel is the real bitcoin. For now the market cap of BTC suggest it is the preferred Bitcoin chain, but this may not hold true forever as newer users may choose the Bitcoin that offers them lower fees, instant transactions and higher upside on price action.
For time being I think that BTC is the one that will lead the way as the real bitcoin both in price and reputation because it gets all of the media attention and that's what's going to motivate newcomers to buy it. They buy the hype. We all know that most of them will probably never go deeper into research to find out about the rivals and the benefits of using them instead of BTC.
