Hot take night:
The NGU maxis (what I'll be referring to them as from here on out) don't actually care about Bitcoin being used as a viable currency, but rather see it as their version of gold that they pray never gains any true transactional viability.

It's why they're hellbent on shitting on Monero and its advocates, or anyone that realizes that "Bitcoin" as it is now (more accurate to call it BScoin, the "BS" standing for Blockstream) is technically flawed and needs base layer solutions instead of continued second-layer hacking that does nothing to fix the shitty foundation; Bitcoin Cash proved that marginal increases in the block size did nothing to harm decentralization, and made it easier to implement onto the base layer what BScoin has to resort towards secondary layers to see added.

As I've said in my post-mortem note on Mutiny's company-hosted wallet shutdown, if not for Roger Ver being a piece of shit regarding the .com domain for Bitcoin alongside affiliated accounts post-split, bruised egos would be all that the NGU squad had as a "reason" to hate Bitcoin Cash, because it proved them wrong when told to "make your own Bitcoin."

The moment the statists' and Blockstream's influence wanes over Bitcoin discussion, people will finally realize the long-term consequences of their self-inflicted damaging of its potential; the issue is that I don't see that happening anytime soon, if ever.
