Beware of infighting attack vectors

The other day I was doing some thought exercise about if you are a banker and you want to disrupt the peer to peer cash movement, what would be a good way to cause problems to these communities?

In hindsight, this was the case of Contrarian / Greg Maxwell (and some troll campaigns), playing both sides against each other and get them to fight against each other. In case people here won’t aware of what happened, he tried to incite BCH community to attack BSV and then went over to the BSV community to incite attacks against BCH. It’s a good tactic, you incite infighting between the two big blockers camp and when they are busy fighting each other, the banks win and you don’t need to get your own hands dirty.

I just want to spread awareness about this attack vector, that’s all. I'm not saying we absolutely can't criticize other cryptos when it is important to speak up. I will still speak up but I also think we should be aware of such possible attack vectors. I rather we just focus on Bitcoin Cash, and focus on building and spreading adoption, and try to make Bitcoin Cash the world peer to peer electronic cash system.
