For me, this split was not so necessary. Bitcoin cash is not so interesting as bitcoin. Don't even look like it goes further.
Isn't Bitcoin Cash the "original bitcoin" created by Satoshi
AND
Bitcoin is the modified Bitcoin since it now contains Segwit?
Can someone who is an old btc member clarify this for me please? Thank you.
I guess neither can be called the "original Bitcoin"
For example, the Bitcoin that Satoshi created had first had 32 megabyte block size (if I'm not mistaken) which was later changed to 1 megabyte by Satoshi himself. After he had left, there were a few other major changes to Bitcoin (even without SegWit), so what we see today as Bitcoin Core is like Microsoft Windows 7 vs Windows 95. The same basically pertains to Bitcoin Cash even though it lacks SegWit. It could be argued that the latter is somewhat closer to the original Bitcoin, but neither is it by any means
