The reason why we have so much discussion about Roger Vers & Craig Wrights & Jihan Wus & Haipo Yangs & Calvin Aires opinion is because they actually matter much more than anything.
Without the average Joe investing and using BCH the BCH would be nothing. All the “big names” are just big names that’s why they are talked about. No one talks about average joe.
It is the big banksters who pumped and dumped BCH. Average Joe does not change his opinion in 6 months and buys at an all time high to drop it then. Roger Ver attracted speculators.
I think your tin foil hat is on way too tight. People learn about BCH and it’s value through Roger or others and they decide to invest and the price goes up...that’s economics.
