It\u2019s Bitcoin Cash!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe Bitcoin Cash (BCH) birth in 2017 was quite an event. A real \u201ccivil war\u201d started in the ecosystem: Bitcoin j\u00e1dro<\/a> was very reluctant to make big changes to the protocol; against developers who wanted to increase the block size in the chain to allow faster and cheaper transactions \u2014but also riskier. And who won in the end? Well, we guess that both parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Loga](\"https:\/\/alfacash.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Bitcoin-and-Bitcoin-Cash-logos.-Screenshots.-scaled.jpg\")

Indeed, BCH is still considered just an altcoin. Back then, it was even popular to refer to this coin as \u201cBcash\u201d.

Ver was especially visceral about it. In November 2017, he had a public discussion with John Carvalho, CEO of Synonym<\/strong> (and XotikaTV back then). Both agreed to a meeting in streaming to talk about scalability in Bitcoin. During the call, Carvalho referred to Bitcoin Cash as \u201cBcash\u201d on multiple occasions. Ver took this as a personal insult, and… the video speaks for itself. Minute 1:58 goes wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
