You are the one who fell for the koolaid.

From the abstract of the Bitcoin whitepaper
" A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online
payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a
financial institution. Digital signatures provide part of the solution, but the main
benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending.
We propose a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer network."

Bitcoin was created to prevent double spending of coins and to allow peer to peer payments. Which it continues to do. On top of that It has evolved as THE store-of-value coin. 

Roger predicted it because he manipulated it. 

Ask him these 3 questions.

How much total money has been added to BCH blocks that were mined?

How much money has he and Antpool lost out in opportunity costs from continuing to mine empty blocks?  This is how the backlog was created and the story line was formed.

If any of that were true, why does Bitcoin/btc have a current market cap of
$279,074,603,826 USD?

when I use GDAX there are no fees that I have had to deal with to withdraw my bitcoin to an alternate account . In other words research = no fees... FUD equals HIGH fees
