It seriously puzzles me how BTC supporters won't say anything positive about BCH, bitcoin cash is what bitcoin used to be. Low fees for peer 2 peer payments. I guess people will just shill whatever they hold and everything else is a scam though, lol.
NO.
You can refer to the discussions that went on for YEARS. Keeping the blocksize small and scaling via layers is the tradeoff that Bitcoiners have made and the market seems to still agree. Hashrate is continuing to drop for BCH while it continues to explode for BTC and the ratio is approaching 1:100 BCH:BTC.
Framing the issue the way you did is quite incomplete.
What you have are two competing paths:
Prioritize low fees to build a payment network first.
Prioritize value storage and develop payments network afterwards.
You are betting on the first. Or are you just talking your bags?
I know the arguments and have been in crypto for a long time. Many people on r/BTC believe bitcoin was infiltrated by banks so it would be crippled as a payment network. Its not a mystery why so many bitcoin supporters from the early days jumped on bitcoin cash, such as Roger Ver.
Prioritizing value storage for the poor man makes no sense when he has to pay $20 for a transaction.
I do own both because the market doesn't always behave rationally and the big money still seems to be on bitcoin.
