We are all in the same boat, I don't really understand why fight among eachother?
what's the porpuse? You are allowing System to win, because new people see this mass confusion everywhere.
It's soo simple really:
BTC = bircoin
BCH = bitcoin cash
whats the problem here? It's both cryptocurrency, SAME BOAT.
I wish it was that simple...
BTC= Bitcoin....this forked twice, BCH was forked to save the og bitcoin chain from segwet, segwet is the second fork.
so...
BTC is og btc , slow ,expensive, 1mb
BCH is Bitcoin with 8mb ,soon to be 32mb but requires an update from the user...BCH uses og bitcoin tech and follows what Satoshi had done in the past, increased block size.
segwet,LN on og btc also requires an update from the user, but ln is not user ready yet...and could still fail.
32Mb, m'kay.
If we suppose that the blocks get full, it's a 1.6Tb blockchain increase per year.
I don't think the Satoshi's decentralized view was to reduce the number of nodes over the time because the need of an enormous disk capacity.
At the moment it's still low cost to host a node, but it will fail later with that system.
