Bitcoin is under assault to create doubt in the system by way of chaos and confusion

[SpaceMonkey]

The opposition to Bitcoin that has been advocating consensus breaking by force is more villainous than it appears at first glance.

The Popcorn Time community experienced a similar, smaller scale assault by the MPAA a few years back. It was a successful open source project that presented a Netflix-like interface to torrents. The MPAA couldn't "stop" an open source project, so they injected themselves into the community. They took over the main fork by getting injunctions and "relaunching" the software, but now complete with IP loggers. They then would fork that project several times, and proceed to create a "blame web" of accusations that one or more of the code forks are owned by the MPAA to track pirates, causing chaos.

As a result, they created doubt in the entire community whether to trust any Popcorn Time clients at all.

So now we are seeing a surge of consensus-breaking clients since the beginning of last year: Bitcoin XT, Bitcoin Classic, Bitcoin Unlimited, Segwit2x, Bitcoin ABC. And Bitcoin Core is being blamed as if it were a centralized corporate entity "for profit" instead of a decentralized open source project that is very political in its nature. These altclients are most likely backed by a large entity such as a banking cartel or state sponsorship, with the goal to divide, conquer and control Bitcoin.

Bitcoin's security comes from the lack of ability to quickly change or duress the network. No altcoin/fork of Bitcoin can say that they truly work as a decentralized exchange of value. Bitcoin is the still the only "bitcoin" and always will be

The assault's goal that we are experiencing is to make the community feel they need to change quickly, with the result of several possible chainsplits and that will ultimately cause chaos, confusion and doubt.

Bitcoin works as it is today, without changes. We need to be skeptical about actors advocating quick change and/or FUD claims of bitcoin being overtaken by one of the less "political" altcoins of Bitcoin. Bitcoin it political by design, and that's what makes it work.

Who's making these claims? please provide proof.

Bitcoin works as it is today very poorly, much worse that it worked just a year ago. What is it about the higher fees and slower transaction times that you believe will make Bitcoin the cryptocoin of choice in the future?

You say "Bitcoin is political by design, and that's what makes it work" yet you seem to be offended that anyone would suggest Bitcoin evolved to meet the future. Those suggestions ARE POLITICS!

I look forward to hearing back from you, please don't be shy.
