Someone tell me why BCH isn't better than BTC when the transactions and fees are cheaper and there isn't any second layer bullshit. What the fuck is a lightning network anyway and why is it at all necessary for BTC? Why not just make the blocks bigger?

LTC is also better. Stellar is better. Tons of coins are better but you retarded cash fags are missing the point. BTC is a cultural phenomenon, a poster boy and a symbol. Literally nothing in this space is measured in actual utility and BCash is a cheap knockoff riding the coat tail of the real deal.

Because main devs behind BTC believe LN will keep it's mining decentralized so your average person will still be able to run his own node. Bigger blocks lead to bigger blockchain size and problems associated with storing it. LN is a workaround for this problem, but it can potentially make BTC even more centralized than BCH, because running your LN channel in not so distant future, could be no longer affordable by single users, so it would lead to creation of another form of banking system.

BCH is a centralized PoS. Its whole "no conf" shill line only works because it assumes everyone is using something like bitpay, a centralized server to prevent double spending. The "bitcoin cash" solution as a whole isn't even technically a crypto because it relies on centralized components.

BCH the cryptocurrency alone still has all the same problems of bitcoin, that transactions take at least as long as the block time, and they are limited by bandwidth and storage. It doesn't matter what the block size is. Bitcoin could make the block size 100GB tomorrow if that's what the miners wanted. But there is not enough bandwidth on the internet to propagate a 100GB block size to every node in the world in 10 minutes. That's why the whole argument of block size is irrelevant. Bitcoin in its current form cant scale, so just forking it and jacking up one variable won't fix it.

Anytime you hear cashie shills talk about 0 conf or instant transactions they are shilling for bitpay or other centralized solutions like coinbase which also wants in on being a BCH pay app which is why they shilled so much for BCH.

haha, cope harder

Bitcoin Cash didn't need to be created. Bitcoin is doing what it was always intended to do.

You start with a basic groundbreaking technological layer, which will undoubtedly be beaten years down the line with better technology. But the foundations have been set in cement and hardened. The new job is to build upon the foundations with better and more revolutionary layers

TCP/IP is completely shit by current standards, but it's the layers built on top of it which have made the internet what it is today

No, it wouldn't be, because it isn't as technologically advanced as devs want you to believe. NANO has massive scaling issues, it's no different from IOTA.

Sure, but let's imagine a scenario where world elites take the control of BTC and make it a digital FIAT. Would that be good or not? Because once 21 coins get mined that's what will happen.

bigger blocks on BCH to make cheaper faster transactions
but this leads to node centralisation as normies can't run the size of node needed

This is fundamentally why core were against the blocksize increase, and would prefer layer two solutions.

Luke Dash Jr would prefer ever smaller blocks to improve security, but no one agrees with him so core will stick to how things are.

Bitcoin, even layer two, may never become a hard money because of TPS and fees, but it will certainly be a SoV which means at least the mcap of gold - 7-8 trillion.

The motivation behind Bitcoin Cash is sound. The Bitcoin Core people are total garbage, and the ridiculous block size limitation and the push to turn Bitcoin into a "store of value" rather than usable digital cash is wrong in many ways.

But the market has decided that Bitcoin Core is Bitcoin, and the reason Bitcoin is #1 isn't that it has the best tech or usability. The reason is that it's the first of its kind with the best brand, best network effect, most credible initial motivation and probably most credible distribution.

If we should just dump Bitcoin and move on to a new system, why accept an improvement on some technicalities like Bitcoin Cash? If we're to dump Bitcoin, it better be for a significant improvement like some scalable future Ethereum. Also, if we just burn down the Bitcoin Core brand, Bitcoin Cash and other forks would also be affected in many ways.

the fact that they don't goes to show how well bitcoin's economic incentive works. miners gain nothing from attacking a chain and doing so would cost a lot in electricity, not to mention the crypto they are losing out on by attacking instead of mining on the most profitable chain. miners simply have more to gain from letting the smaller chains be, they even serve as a backup just in case BTC goes away.

therefore the argument is moot, even null and void i'd say. when BCH or BSV surpasses the value of BTC miners will just flip a switch and mine on that chain instead.

BCH is the best money and has given me nothing but gains since its creation.

the spike from 0.1 to 0.5 BTC on polo, the multiple run-ups from 0.1 to 0.2 BTC on binance/polo, the spike from 0.025 to 0.05 BTC after the ABC/SV split.

This coin is a wealth amplifier if you know how to trade. I had under $10k before BCH, now I have $300k worth of crypto funds.

It simply is better and has always been. It's practically bitcoin without devs trying to destroy it for profit.
> What the fuck is a lightning network anyway and why is it at all necessary for BTC?
It's a cool idea that could alleviate about 50% of the onchain pressure, used as an excuse to limit block size to 1mb, as if it could handle 99% of transactions. It cannot and it's unreliable and not suited for the non-nerdy.
> Why not just make the blocks bigger?
Because there's no VC money when you go for the easy working solution.
