There is a reason The Blocksize Wars ended the way they did.
To impose a degree of centralization onto a previously decentralized network
I also don't see any large banks, hedge funds, or intelligent investors placing their bets with Bitcoin Cash.
Let's acknowledge that the point of Bitcoin was to destroy those institutions. They're just embracing the coin with the largest market cap. If Bitcoin weren't hijacked, they would be embracing pure, decentralized, big-blocked Bitcoin.
It was obvious back then that the shady team were the small blockers. The Big Blockers were definitely more liberty focused. As someone who has followed bitcoin since 2010, I can say that those in favor of layer 2 scaling are not the same liberty-loving breed as the OG's.
I'm not recommending that any reader should buy Bitcoin Cash. I'm saying that without a propaganda campaign that changed bitcoin, there'd have been no need to create Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin Cash is not Bitcoin, however. It's just a copy of what Bitcoin was supposed to be.
As an attendee to many liberty/crypto conferences, I can confidently say that the real anarcho-capitalists/ freedom loving people are the Bitcoin Cashers BCH. The Bitcoin maximalists were those that wanted to play nice with the big banks and governments, pay taxes, ID verification, etc early on. Look up any debate between Roger Ver and Tone Vays to see BCH vs btc. Roger Ver actually understands liberty and Austrian economics and Tone Vays is... well, a jew. Tone never even showed up to the liberty crypto conferences, whereas Roger set me up with a wallet and sent me Bitcoin back in the day just to show me how it works. If you own Bitcoin and don't move it, cool. But I actually used Bitcoin a lot early on and I remember those crazy fees in 2017 with btc. If it's intangible, price should follow it's utility. On the other hand, we don't have rational markets and now that Bitcoin has other mainstream adoption vehicles that are not bitcoin, plus tether and other stable coins etc, btc can be manipulated and I think it is. I think THEY will blow Bitcoin way way up, then crash it, and then roll out CBDCs as the solution to their Hegelian dialectic

Here's a random article about it that even mentions Epstein's name for anyone following along. No idea how accurate it is. https://medium.com/coinmonks/lightning-network-the-trojan-horse-of-the-crypt-industry-f26e3cc8cd46

Bitcoin Marximalists suck.
I agree with all of that.
