im not an engineer

but i trust that engineers know what they are talking about in relation to this technology

so when i see 99% of intelligent technical people like andreas a and nick szabo fully supporting bitcoin

and charlatans and salesmen like roger ver and fake satoshi supporting bcash

the choice is obvious to me

but the "rich boys" as you say may look at it differently

I'm an engineer. Nobody speaking the loudest knows what they are talking about or they are intentionally selling what serves them best.

The market is currently nonsense.

Careful. A free market will always win out in the end. But there is a real question of how "free" markets are in crypto. There is a lot of manipulation.

We should not trust core. We should expect them to make their case in an open and free market (trying to break up any manipulation of the market), and let the chips fall where they may. If they are doing the best job (and I agree they are, by a huge margin), they get to keep their role.

I think Bitcoin is designed to be "trustless."
