Huge news to say the least and I must admit as much as I dislike BCH when I did use it, it was fast and the fees were significantly lower than Bitcore Core. How can this be and how can Bitcoin Core not implement the same features? That is what keeps me from jumping on BCH is the fact that Bitcoin Core can literally add those solid features overnight and that other coin becomes utterly useless.
yeah the problem with BCH is its basically a scam coin whose proponents use it to try to trick people by saying its the real bitcoin and its used purely to attack Bitcoin rather than stand on its own. Core absolutely should increase the block size, which would immediately destroy BCH's entire purpose.
You would think a time will come when the response is 'enough is enough' every time bitcoin cash enjoys some success it hurts bitcoin and if it is left too long it may get to the stage where serious damage is done.
