- Bitcoin
In August 2017, a long-running dispute over how to scale Bitcoin culminated in a hard fork that created Bitcoin Cash, favoring larger blocks and on-chain transactions over SegWit and Layer-2 solutions. Roger Ver loudly promoted Bitcoin Cash as the “real Bitcoin,” posting viral tweets like “Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin” and leveraging Bitcoin.com branding to reinforce that claim. The episode sparked years of confusion, branding wars, and tribalism, becoming one of the most infamous ideological splits in crypto history.
