When questioned on Twitter why he supported Bitcoin Cash and not Bitcoin, Kim Dotcom, real name Kim Schmitz, replied: "Because I believe BCH has bigger potential to become the digital money leader, is currently undervalued and has a team that is open to good ideas and advise. Don't get me wrong, I love Bitcoin too, and ETH and many others."
A day later, Kim Dotcom followed up with tweets about a new website he created that extols the benefits and upsides of bitcoin cash.
Many people are asking me why I’m supporting Bitcoin Cash and why I think it has the biggest upside potential. Good question.
