One of the interesting anomalies to emerge over the last six months is the rivalry between believers in Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Ethereum (ETH). The almost quasi-religious argument is basically Ethereum enthusiasts claiming their coin preserves an untampered - pure - history of the Ethereum blockchain, free from interference. While Bitcoin Cash supporters claim that their fork is a faster, more reliable version of Bitcoin, and a better example of the "true vision" of Bitcoin creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The experts have weighed in on feud and Maxwell Arnold co-author of the crypto Laser whitepaper told Express.co.uk that, “the beef seems to stem from the idea that as ETH transitions to proof-of-stake - as opposed to proof-of-work - it will supposedly make ETH less secure - whereas Bitcoin Cash is based on proof-of-work." He said: “As ETH doesn't necessarily have a fixed supply, it raises questions as to the value of the currency, compared to Bitcoin Cash, which does have a fixed supply just like Bitcoin.”

Reddit threads have emerged exploring the hatred between the two communities. Bitcoin Cash believers say that there was an organised attempt to create a negative sentiment towards Bitcoin Cash and label it a scam. User regecide2025 describes his experience discussing Bitcoin online as “annoying”. He said: “I don't have a problem with Bitcoin Cash. I have a problem with the community since they decided attacking people and if you try to have any conversation with them it turns into ‘you're a paid core shill’ or ‘you're just afraid of BCH’.” User Uncle-Badtouch agrees, lamenting the “cult-like behaviour” of bitcoin believers, and comparing online discussion over the two coins to, “being attacked by scientologists”.
