A Medium user posted a Twitter analysis of the "100 Most Influential People in Crypto," ranking the influencers on how vocal they are on bashing Bitcoin Cash.

First posted in January 2018, the list provides a rare glimpse into how the who's who of crypto feel about the controversial Bitcoin fork.

Regularly updated, the list was first published in January 2018 and highlighted 100 individuals that are involved in crypto around the world.

The controversial cryptocurrency has been a divisive force among crypto enthusiasts since it split from the original Bitcoin blockchain on August 1, 2017.Calculating the Bcash Animosity Score.

The "Most Influential People in Crypto" listed according to their "Bcash" animosity score.

With many in the Bitcoin community finding Bitcoin Cash so so abhorrent that they've taken to calling it "Bcash" to remove "Bitcoin" from its name entirely, Ash decided to create an "Animosity" score to rank the influencers.

The basic premise was that the more one referred to Bitcoin Cash as "Bcash," the more animosity they feel towards it.

By using a previously created DataFrame using Python 3, the user created a function that calculates the proportion of Bitcoin Cash mentions that are "Bcash" for the Twitter accounts of each of the 100 people mentioned in Crypto Weekly's list.

Ash's function gave each individual a BCH Animosity score between 0 and 1, with the closer an individual's score is to 1, the more animosity they feel towards Bitcoin Cash.

The top two vocal critics of Bitcoin Cash were followed by other Bitcoin enthusiasts such as Josh Olszewicz, Brave New Coin's star writer and advisor to Altcoin.io.
