This tweet seems to be stirring up a lot of controversy right now on Twitter, from a lot of people I'm typically on the same side as.
I'm just going to quote the top level responses without bias:
Andreas, if you want to help Bitcoin, you need to call out the bad actors in this space. You can stay neutral if you want but understand that by doing so you are opting out of fighting the biggest threat Bitcoin faces. #antifragile
Ethereum isnt claiming it is Bitcoin and trying to steal its brand and confuse its users.
You're being naive.
We know you like to remain as PC as possible, and love to sit on fences. But seriously, this statement is naive as it is ignorant.
That is completely and utterly wrong. Ethereum and Bitcoin do not share the same POW algo. Single POW algos are zero sum in terms of a system actually being secure.
Have you not paid attention to http://Bitcoin[dot]com 's campaign to brand Bitcoin Cash as Bitcoin? They are confusing new users.
Unfortunately their goal is to destroy Bitcoin, not build a project.
Now I don't want to misrepresent Andreas here but I think this tweet is interesting because it seems to take a stance while at the same time come off as neutral.
Notice how neither of the names go unchanged?
Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash
Notice how telling everyone to go back home and start doing real work must involve real developers actually doing some sort of real work?
This isn't even about Andreas' stance anymore, this is mine: Are you really that concerned over a pumped up coin that has no foundation to it?
Like 2X:
Where are the droves of developers?
Where's the infrastructure?
Who's running these nodes?
Who's developing Lightning for BCash?
Who's running these decentralized LN Nodes if they ever manage to mirror the code they copied onto their bootlegged "malleability" fix that won't work like SegWit?
He follows up with:
This is not even close to the biggest threat Bitcoin faces and I won't be feeding the drama, distracting from the important work that needs to be done
When you can tell me who you think actually does all that important work, then you can probably tell me you're also no longer concerned about the current situation.
