I'm a software engineer by trade, and got into Bitcoin in the beginning when people were still trading on forum threads. Those were the good old days. I've been really frustrated with the Bitcoin community lately. I never got involved out of some interest in hoarding BTC and just sitting on it. I fell in love with the idea of a transactable currency that takes the bank out of the equation. This is no longer the case.
I commented on a thread on /r/btc earlier in which I said that a big tell for me was the fact that while on /r/btc, Satoshi and the whitepaper are mentioned both in the header graphic and in the sidebar, while neither of which are mentioned on /r/bitcoin. I really think it speaks a lot to the community of both currencies and communities. I really enjoy the fact that the Bitcoin Cash community is focused around the same ideals that made me fall in love with the idea and the technology. I want this space to be at a crossroads of economics and philosophy again.
My first Trezor came in today and I was blown away when I moved my BCH onto it. It didn't cost me anything. It was done instantly. Say what you will about Bitcoin being the "original" Bitcoin or the fact that it has the most recognizable name in the space. BCH is what was outlined in the whitepaper, and BTC at the end of the day, is a broken and failing experiment.
I'm ready to get out of the memepool and join you guys on the light side. Cheers to this community and to BCH. I'm dumping all of my BTC for BCH
