@RowanSkie more from that month

After a bit of searching and listening to a bunch of people talking in Bitcoin Cash communities, I can safely assume that there are three main types of BCHers, and they all conflict with each other. They are the Users, the Investors, and the Anarchists. Let's start with the majority of them, the Users. The Users are more than 3/5s of the visible group, and these guys are the ones that promote BCH as money. These users, people like @Telesfor and George Donnelly, could be also renamed as Influencers as they promote the use of Bitcoin Cash as peer-to-peer cash. I consider a BCHer to be a User if they promote usage of Bitcoin Cash, from buying things or creating a small BCH-centric economy into their areas. The Investors are 2/5s of the visible group and are usually the newcomers to the crypto scene. These guys are into the "number go up" slogan of the overall Cryptocurrency market, and get easily annoyed when prices dump. Usually, Investors can become Users when they learn how to actually use Bitcoin Cash, though most of them stay on this phase for a lot longer than you think. Most of these Investors' actions like technical analysis, price prediction, etc., are generally loathed by the Users who know what Bitcoin Cash is supposed to be. And now, for the Anarchists. The Anarchists are a sect of Users that are like the Users, but these guys are heavily against the government and will do anything to push for privacy, anti-government sentiments, and most of their history is built upon trashing upon the things that corrupted leaders go and do upon. Usually, a User becomes an Anarchist when they fully support a BCH-only economy, but some can go so far as finding specific theories about the current world events and show the truth on why we should use Bitcoin Cash. Otherwise, the friendliest of the bunch. Now, this is just my opinion on the matter, and the lines between every three types of BCHers are very blurred. This isn't because there's (falsely claimed) bad stigma against BCH, or how most cryptocurrency users these days are just wanting to get more money by holding and selling it, or how some things just plain lies just to ensure they win the money. We don't have any responsibility for what happens next. If you don't know what you're investing in, then you'll just lose your investment. If you don't want to use the item for its intended use, why invest in it at all? If you can't use Bitcoin Cash because nobody accepts it, then why not be the first that accepts it? Know your stuff. Bitcoin is meant to be used as a low-fee payment system. Bitcoin Cash works as it should've been.
