OK, so the bitcoin blockchain currently stands at over 140 GB in size. This already makes it extremely hard for the average user to run their own node.

Granted BCH blocks aren't very big right now (because nobody is using it for anything except speculation), but let's just say people actually _do_ send it back and forth to each other and eventually begin using it for things other than speculation. How long will it take the BCH blockchain to surpass that of BTC's in size? 2, 3 years tops?

This means that only the extremely wealthy or with access to top-notch computers will be able to run full BCH nodes, putting BCH squarely in the palms of the 1%.

Is this what Satoshi had envisioned?

The answer is "no."

So please, for the love of all that is decent, please, I beg you, STOP pretending they are the same thing when clearly they are not.

I mean, BCH stole BTC's logo, but the similarities end there.
