but it sure seems like the haters are worried about BTC losing value, not about technical superiority. And that Samson guy seems really arrogant and condescending, while Roger seems sincere but a bit overly excited and defensive (which is understandable, given all the hate directed at him).

Yep. That Mow cat is definitely smug.

I wish Roger would put a little of his energy into promoting Steem as well, given he’s using it to promote BCH. But he seems to be worried about altcoins taking market share.

I wish he'd promote Steem, too, but he's a man on a very clear mission, it seems. I've never gotten the impression he is worried about altcoins taking market share, though. If anything, he seems to be totally focused on BCH and could care less. Just from my vantage point, at least.
