But this is not what you have been saying
Basically, you have been saying that "if there's something which is better in the same field with the product you promote, you will fail". Now you say that you would still prefer Coca-Cola even if the competing product were absolutely identical. It may work with Coca-Cola (something subjective) but may not work with something which cab be objectively measured. And this measure in the case of Bitcoin versus Bitcoin Cash showdown is profitability. Note that I'm not favoring any of them here, I just take a neutral approach and claim that the currency which will be able to bring more profits over longer periods of time will necessarily win since profitability is what the vast majority of people are looking for. And it is not just about regular Bitcoin and Bitcoin cash, it is about any coin out there
I agree, but still I don't think that Bitcoin Cash will be the winner. To me it looks like the situation with high transaction fees is improving day by day. Right now, for example, you have to pay 180 satoshis/byte for a pretty fast, within 30 minutes, transaction. As far as I remember it was 400+ satoshis/byte some time ago. I think changes for good will bring more people to Bitcoin in the future and Bitcoin Cash will be forgotten by many of its today's supporters
I don't think that it will, either
But that's not my point. Transaction fees are mostly irrelevant (as well as time it takes to confirm a transaction). This can be easily explained and proved in practice. First, Bitcoin prices are determined at exchanges, and traders don't move their bitcoins very often, so that they don't care a lot about commissions and times. Further, if the fees really mattered as much as people think they do, we would see a massive exodus from Bitcoin to altcoins, most certainly to Litecoin with its cheap and fast transactions. But as I said, it is profitability which plays the most important role here, i.e. not fees or confirmation times, and thus people stick to Bitcoin and bite the bullet (with high fees and slow confirms)
