This is just how the world works. Bitcoin became a "Store of Value" Rather than a "Way of transacting" now. They have a choice to increase the block size for transactions to be faster, but they never did. Well, I guess you better find another coin if you want faster transactions.

Actually it was done, the new BTC is BCH and it is fast and has cheap transactions.

Everyone with BTC before the fork was given equal value in BCH in wallets, so now the choice is yours, use BCH to move smalls transactions fast and cheap and use BTC for storage of wealth or sell off BTC and go balls deep into BCH.

I have both but my coins are all BCH, and a nice amount of BTC was liquidated into BCH and even a few new coins, there's a short term window to make boats loads of money in alt currency, but long run IMO BTC and BCH are the only coins that will be of value 5+ years, in the meantime it's all good.

Same shit differnt name. I came in mid august so no, I didn't get any BCH ..

Well you are very late to the party and while the long term outlook for BTC is still good according to most with vested financial reasons to stay bullish, the reality is BCH is doing what BTC was designed to do in the original white paper of Sataoshi, do virtual low dollar transactions for almost nothing quickly, somehow TPTB that run the core forgot what the original paper stated was the goal, inexpensive virtual transactions for inexpensive things.

Some where from 2008 until now that direction WAS LOST until the fork happened, now we have a new Bitcoin on track with the original intent of the white paper, and everyone before August with BTC has equal coins in BCH, some dumped it early and many are holding some pretty bright pioneers are dumping BTC and saying their future will be BCH, others say the only path is BTC.

I like the idea of two coins, one for fast cheap transactions and one for store value.

Both are holds for the next few years IMO.

After 2020, who knows.

Sure BCH is probably a good investment, but if you're talking about a purely p2p cash system then BCH already failed because people are holding it instead of spending it.
You're talking about investing not what can I pay with properly and there BCH takes the coffee but it doesn't get used for that.
