I would propose to not add "Bitcoin 2" in the 0.9 release because they are abusing the Bitcoin brand and confuse new users who are not so familiar with those weird scam strategies which have been established in cryptoland.

We see that mainstream media confuse BCH with BTC as they did recently when reporting about a fork in Bitcoin (was maybe intentional, but newbies really confuse it). So a project adding more confustion by abusing an established brand is highly un-ethical IMO.

There are other "Bitcoin...." assets like BitcoinCash and BitcoinClashic as well (BitcoinClashic was intended as joke or perversion of the othe Bitcoin fork projects, so that has a bit different background). I am open to remove those as well but leave that outside of that request as those are at least traded and already longer established. Anyone is welcome to make a proposal for those as well... I would probably support it. Specially with the recent price crash caused IMO by the BCH hash war and creating lots of damage for every BTC holder we should think twice if we actively support such shitcoins.
