In light of a tendency of people not to check facts, but rather see the message, I decided to do a quick check of the numbers below, which look shocking.

So, what do we see?

BTC tx are indeed down, but they were ~ 255k then as opposed to 300k.

The above makes it look like it halved, where it actually went from 255k (with a spike of 400k in November) to 135k on 1st of April.

More than half down. Both numbers wrong.

LTC was ~ 5,5k in April 2017 and now is at 25k tx.

Roughtly increased 5x, as opposed to the 20x claimed by Ver.

All numbers wrong.

ETH was at ~80k and now is at ~ 628k tx.

An increase of ~7,5x, instead of the 15x claimed by Ver.

Numbers wrong.

ETC was at 23,5k and now is at 34,3k tx.

An increase of 1,45x as opposed to the 5x claimed by Ver.

BCH was *unable* to transact on the 1st of April last year, due to not existing. Now at ~20k tx.

Not sure how to measure the increase except in absolute numbers.

However, if I were uncharitable, and follow Ver's own narrative that Bitcoin Cash IS Bitcoin, I could say it's gone from 255k to 20k tx.

A loss of more than 90%.

Not doing that, though as I am sticking to the method Ver used in his Tweet (though logically inconsistent)

Bitcoin dominance was at 67,84%, now at 45%.

~ 35% drop as opposed to Ver's 50%.

Wrong numbers.

Look, I think BCH has a right to exist, it truly does.

What I object to is Ver making a bloody post with almost ALL data wrong to prove that it does have a right to exist.

It doesn't need a disingenuous person pushing it, as it already has a right to exist.
