Bitcoin (available on Coinbase).com Controversy: Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) Cash has taken things a little too far on its crusade to promote itself, A strategy that has led the ecosystem to a polarization never seen before in the history of the blockchain. While the relationship between ETC advocates and ETH could be described as controversial — two communities whose philosophies are radically different and are critical of each other — the relationship between BTC and its fork BCH is worse and now the lack of seriousness from camp BCH in their strategies has reached a limit.

In recent weeks, the actions of Roger Ver – the man at the head of the BCH community, began listing BCH as Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) which angered users. Ver, who owns Bitcoin (available on Coinbase).com has used the site to promote specific tactics that have been described by many as misleading.

A few weeks ago, a community initiative began to gather momentum, seeking to sue Roger Ver for confusing users by listing BCH under the name Bitcoin (available on Coinbase), when in reality Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) is BTC in all markets. Not only content with that, Ver decided to list the real BTC under the name Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) Core, when Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) Core is the name of the famous Satoshi Client and the original Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) wallet.

Because of actions like these, users disapproved of the way BCH adopters promoted the currency. As a result of the complaints, Bitcoin (available on Coinbase).com listed BCH as Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) Cash and BTC as Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) again on some parts of its website.

However, four days ago when Twitter account @Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) called BTC “an experimental coin with no whitepaper”, it was the straw that broke the camel’s back, provoking reactions from important personalities like Mike Novogratz who responded in a very heated tone:

Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) Cash is the oldest cryptocurrency. Its white paper was published in 2008 and the genesis block mined in January 2009.

As a result of the Bitcoin (available on Coinbase).com controversy, Coinmarketcap, one of the reference sites when researching the status and characteristics of cryptos around the world, decided to remove Bitcoin (available on Coinbase).com from the list of official Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) websites.

This was inevitable. Bitcoin (available on Coinbase).com is possibly the number one searched domain name when looking for information regarding Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) – even more than Bitcoin (available on Coinbase).org which is now the only official website. The kind of controversy that Bitcoin (available on Coinbase).com is stirring up means it doesn’t hold a neutral position regarding cryptos. This seems to warrant its removal from one of the worlds biggest crypto related platforms.
