His public comments would say otherwise and many doubt that his company is supporting Bitcoin vs handicapping it for private interests.
> Gavin loudly endorsing an obvious scammer
Classic nullc way of putting it.. Gavin simply said that CSW was able to sign a message from one of the keys he had interacted with Satoshi's account. The signing itself has be debunked many a times, Gavin did not endorse CSW as Satoshi himself, like giving bitcoin repo access to CSW..
The entire drama created a path for new folks like Adam who showed up in 2013(from your bitcointalk article) to see opportunity to gain control of the core client.
Bitcoin Cash handles this by making sure to have multiple implementations.
CompatBlocks is just one of the developments that BCH has completed and released https://cash.coin.dance/development#completed
Overall, only time will tell how the Bitcoin story will play out. For a fact though, we have 2 chains developed centrally planned (BTC & BSV) while BCH keeps the checks & balances of power with distributed teams.
If you are feeling like going on a debunking spree, I'd like to see you refute the sources here https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/ekykl9/bitcoin_cash_th...

wtf. man, stop taking credit for other people's work. Compact blocks were completed and released by Matt Corallo, myself, and the other Bitcoin developers at the time long before BCH existed. It had absolutely no involvement from any BCH developer.

When your link in the earlier post is an article ranting about how much money blockstream employees are making because it pays its employees partially denominated in Bitcoin and Bitcoin has increased a lot in value.
> Gavin did not endorse CSW as Satoshi himself
In fact Gavin stated that he was convinced Wright was Satoshi long before he ever met him or witnessed any signing.

Adam doesn't have any control over Bitcoin Core and never has. I don't think anything he's ever proposed has ended up in in it, in fact.
> Cash handles this by making sure to have multiple implementations
Actually, BCH's constant hardforks have killed many of those multiple implementations. "Bitcoin XT", "Bitcoin Classic", "Bcoin" to name some of those. Ironically the old BitcoinXT from back when it was Bitcoin software ... happily still works on Bitcoin. So you have it backwards: it's bitcoin that preserves people's freedom to use different implementations.
