It's not about the name. Part of the takeover was the demonization of all opposing forks and the narrative that big blocks is destructive to decentralization which couldn't be further from the truth and yet to this day it is a verboten topic among bitcoiners.
If people go read the Bitcoin whitepaper today they are reading about Bitcoin Cash, not the software called BTC which has been radically altered.
No it's not. It's fundamental to the discussion because anyone adopting "Bitcoin" these days is falling victim to a fraud they don't understand thinking they are protecting their life savings but doing just the opposite because they don't know the real history of the tech.
I'm not even a BCH maximalist, I just think that was the correct path for Bitcoin to take, not intentionally create artificial scarcity of block space and high fees to price out small transactions and drive most economic activity onto other chains.
I don't believe in HODL either. There needs to be a circular economy of individuals buying and selling goods and services, not just exchange speculating. That means people need to learn how to actually use it for commerce, not just how to load up a hardware wallet and forget everything else.

Bud, you and I both know this, but it's moot to the conversation, and is just pedantic for no reason.

Having worked on both ARK and ALGO I’d loooooove to hear your ‘HODL’ thoughts on BCH maximalism 🙄
