I've been trying to figure out why everyone is defending BTC so mightily vs. BCH... and the effort has only made me further an advocate of BCH. Last summer, I tried to buy a NAS from NewEgg with BTC and the transaction didn't process before the payment timer expired. I then had to go back and forth emailing them to get my BTC returned. I also tried to purchase something a month later with BTC from a different vendor and received an email from the vendor that they didn't accept BTC anymore. I was disappointed, but I didn't think much of it at the time. Perhaps it was broken all along? Here is a PDF Roger put together that contains the references to the surprising statements made by some of the BTC thought-leaders. Further, most of the interviews I've seen where people are defending BTC appear to not use it themselves on a regular basis. They're simply HODLing and worried about a threat to their "nest egg". In the past couple weeks, I've seen Valve dropping BTC due to its unpredictable fees and Bitmain only accepting BCH for my Antminer L3+ purchase. While I doubt BTC is going away anytime soon, I do now believe myself that BCH was a well-timed fork. I also believe that while he's exaggerating a bit, the right person [Roger Ver] is driving BCH adoption and for the right reasons, too.
