The most produced case of cryptocurrency tribalism is the civil war between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, which has been going on since the Bitcoin Cash fork last August.
The supporters of Bitcoin accused the supporters of Bitcoin Cash for using the brand name of Bitcoin, the brand name of Bitcoin, and the supporters of Bitcoin cash to Bitcoin's special currency to help the development of Bitcoin. Proponents of Bitcoin call Bitcoin Cash Bcash, trying to position Bitcoin Cash as the real Bitcoin, while the Bitcoin Cash community now refers to Bitcoin as Bitcoin Core, trying to legally use the name Bitcoin.
Obviously, in this civil war, both sides have their own specific economic motives, and both sides are far from perfect, but the war between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash has created a new cryptocurrency tribalism.
For those at the forefront of the Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash civil war, severe accusations, public slanders, and crude insults occur almost daily.
Although those deeply involved in this war may think this is a necessary evil, the reality is that this cryptocurrency tribalism is splitting the wider cryptocurrency community. This type of infighting is to transfer the energy of the community to fight against other tribes in the encryption technology, rather than to transfer energy to innovation, which will help to form a future decentralized digital economy.
Cryptocurrency is not a zero-sum game. Bitcoin Cash does not need to sacrifice the success of Bitcoin, and vice versa. Ethereum does not need to be the only supercomputer in the world, even if this project is considered a success. A successful anonymous digital name digital currency does not require a coin to rule everyone.
Nakamoto expects to have a series of different digital cash and encrypted cash assets in the future. Many existing cryptocurrencies (especially ICOs) have disappeared, but the market is large enough to make hundreds of cryptocurrency and blockchain projects successful.
