TL;DR: CoinSpice scours the Twittersphere to shine light upon the top crypto tweets of the week. Luke Dashjr seems to urge Bitcoin Cash (BCH) over Litecoin, in a break from BTC maximalist orthodoxy. A philosopher frames what he sees as the real debate for Bitcoin. BTC maximalists are even condescending to Elon Musk. The danger of price calls. Kraken avoids disaster via relationships. Jack Dorsey talks currency. China blockchain revelations run deep, and my, oh my, has the BTC narrative changed in the last 5 years.

Tweets of the Week: #10 Luke Dashjr Endorses BCH Over LTC

The hardest of the hardcore BTC maximalists, developer Luke Dashjr is known to take on a wide variety of subjects, sacred and profane, from the legitimacy of Vatican II to contemplating the consumption of house pets.

Welp. He’s done it again, by golly. Dashjr seemed pretty serious when he by default endorsed Bitcoin Cash over Litecoin recently during a few online exchanges about the goal for Bitcoin.

Depending on how its read, Dashjr is either burning BTC maxis who have often used Litecoin as a head-fake to distract from scaling issues in preference over BCH, or he’s simply following maxi logic to its obvious conclusion.

If usability by the entire human population is your non-negotiable requirement, I think Bcash might just be a better fit for you… You could even buy a bunch cheap now before leading a mass defection. — Luke Dashjr (@LukeDashjr) October 22, 2019

#9 The Real Schism

The real schism in Bitcoin will happen when there’s a credible path towards making it fully private. — Naval (@naval) October 23, 2019

#8 Elon Musk is a No Good Sh*tcoiner!

imagine being so cringe that even your fellow maximalists couldn’t help but troll you… pic.twitter.com/q8VCndZ8gn — 🎃 ℂ𝕠𝕚𝕟 𝔸𝕝𝕔𝕙𝕖𝕞𝕚𝕤𝕥 (@C0inAlchemist) October 23, 2019

#7 Slap Yourself (note date)

Slap yourself, if you sold $BTC under $10,000. — CZ Binance (@cz_binance) August 1, 2019

#6 Bear is Where You Started

Ironically, “Rich Dad Poor Dad” is an accurate description of me in late 2017 vs now. https://t.co/4SOv25Rrjj — Mike In Space (@mikeinspace) October 24, 2019

#5 Matrix-Like Move Saves a lot in Public Relations

Re: news of Crypto Capital today — Kraken zeroed its accounts and terminated its relationship with the payment processor in early 2017 and has had absolutely no exposure to the operation since. We and our clients are completely unaffected by the situation. — Kraken Exchange (@krakenfx) October 25, 2019

#3 Recent China Blockchain Revelations are Deep

(0) I lean towards believing we had a paradigm shift for $BTC demand given news from China. Similar to how halving step-function reduces demand, CCP officially making blockchain a strategic pillar = step-function in demand creation that permeates into ecosystem in next 1-2 years. — Maple Leaf Capital (@MapleLeafCap) October 27, 2019

#2 Painful But Necessary

Though it hurts the rest of us temporarily, I really couldn't be more glad about BTC's continued drop & I hope it doesn't stop here. The sooner a broken product leaves our market, the sooner people who want to do real business can take our market seriously.#PainfulButNecessary — Amanda B.

#1 Narrative Shift of BTC to Number Go Up
