if this write up https://medium.com/@shludvigsen/traders-guide-to-bitcoin-cash-bitcoin-segwit-819933694b34 is correct, then one has to buy some BCH and hold.

Very interesting article, but I doubt BC will ever see another EDA scenario like we saw already.

I wrote that article, and I am happy you found it interesting. We have seen the EDA kick in several times now, and it will not stop until 1 Bitcoin Cash is worth more than 1 Bitcoin Segwit.

I can't do anything reading that but laugh the hell out. Initially fee, then block sizes, then compression of transactions and now difficulty adjustments.
Why are people trying to trim everything here and not seeing what's getting increased? Do you think it will be easy for those who will install BCH's wallets on their PCs to keep up the space with its number of total blocks being mined? Just think that if it mines 6 blocks of 8 MB size each an hour (if it ever does), that would take 48 MB of space per hour, 1152 MB per day, 8064 MB per week and 419328 MBs per year. Can you afford?

When we have 8 MB blocks on average, the max blocksize limit will probably be a lot higher. The computers faster, broad band wider, storage cheaper etc.

You don't have to run a non-mining node to use bitcoin. Only 1 in 1000 do that today. And you don't have to run a node to mine either. Just use a pool like normal miners do.

It's only pools and maybe some businesses that have to run nodes. SPV is good enough for the rest. It's the miners/pools that enforce the rules on bitcoin, and they get paid to do it. If you are not mining, all you can do is observe with a full node. You may try to sybil attack, but it's useless because miners are very well connected between them.

If you don't trust miners to do this job right while they are incentivized to be honest, you should get out of bitcoin ASAP or read the whitepaper one more time, slowly.
