Which of the leading cryptocurrencies will become more scalable and efficient in the long term?

Will it be Bitcoin with its Layer Two solutions such as the Lightning Network and Sidechains?

Or Bitcoin Cash with its on-chain scaling solutions by increasing the block size limit?

I would like to know your thoughts about this. Smiley

It all depends which you think is more important in the long run,

If you believe onchain scaling is more important, you pick Bitcoin Cash.

If you believe Lightning Network scaling is more important, then you pick Bitcoin Core.

Why did I say Lightning Network Scaling instead of offchain scaling.

Because any 3rd party can provide offchain scaling for any coin, with offchain transactions capacity that could rival visa.
LN is not the only way to scale offchain , that is the fallacy being promoted by many confused people.

So if offchain scaling is your pick then any coin with a 3rd party can scale,

if you believe specifically in LN only, then Bitcoin Core is your pick.

But to be perfectly honest both bitcoin core & cash are ignoring the elephant in the room, both use insane amounts of electricity and neither see that as a problem.
