While not yet finalized, it appears like the upcoming Bitcoin Cash fork will leave Bitcoin ABC, the main development team's implementation, in a distant last place behind Bitcoin Cash Node, the "upstart" implementation. This is the third split involving Bitcoin Cash: first from Bitcoin, then Bitcoin SV splitting off, and finally Bitcoin ABC leaving. But why was this time different? Why did the established development team lose this one where they had won all the others? I explore this subject while drawing on interviews with Amaury Séchet, Roger Ver, and Collin Enstad.
