Here me out now, I come in peace lol
I dont get it. Recently I saw numerous people switching from BTC to BCH, ranting about enormous BTC fees, and even myself was part of the people who burned themselves on them. Its crazy how big they are, cant do shit with it.
Besides that, just look at the number of unconfirmed transactions, nearly 180k rn. People are waiting even weeks just to make transaction, AND you get slammed on the fees.
This "Store of value" thing, whats the point of it when you literally cant do nothing with this coin mainly because of the reasons above... Its pretty much useless imo.
Thats one of the reasons I switched to BCH. Im not here to bash on BTC and speak highly of BCH, this thread has gone to shit enough already, im here just so someone can explain me logic behind these things above regarding BTC, there is no point hiding behind facts, since there are so many people here pro-BTC and tend to look at BCH as shitcoin etc.
So you have BTC, currency, that rn is in serious problems regarding fees and slow network, and you have BCH, which is basically same thing as BCH, has nothing more to offer (you said this numerous times in this thread), BUT it has 8MB block size versus BTC's 1MB, much much lower fees and much much quicker transactions. Isnt that one of the two main things some currency needs to have? Its "same thing", just its cheaper and quicker to move...? Yet so many people live like they ignore all that.
Now I get what someone will repeat over and over again, "Roger Ver is a bitch, BCH is basically centralised coz of him.... If BCH had so many users as BTC it would have same problems....etc etc"-I get it all. Im not some Roger Ver groupie, I dont agree with him in all things, idgaf. All I care about is, in this case, what BTC has to offer more than BCH, and other way around. The way I see it, BTC has much more serious problems than "Btrash", and on the first sight, when you take these things into reconsideration, BTC looks like the one who has the army of brainwashed people behind it, or the ones who got their funds stuck and cant move it because of the fees, and look at the LN as the God given solution... or both. The way I see it, BCH is the one rn that is following more what Satoshis whitepaper said.
I could be wrong, I say again, just because I now have more in BCH than in BTC, doesnt mean that I will look at all people who are other way around as assholes, and look at Ver as Jesus, I want to hear some logic behind these things above, maybe I am missing something.
If BCH had same amount of users that BTC has right now, why would it have same problems like BTC if even now it has better foundementals in block size and network than BTC (8MB>1MB).
Just for love of God just dont make this thread any more cancerous than its rn. Make love not war.
Well simply and precisely, how you praised BCH I know it has these qualities of huge block size and blah blah blah but here we come to a genuine issue which is BCH is not distinctive. We have more than around 1300 alts look into them you will find even better options than BCH and then shift your funds as well, all the dump heads are doing it.
I won't say BTC don't have issues yes it has that need to be fixed. Personally I have no issues with transaction confirmation but for me fee is a big issue. Transactions are delayed because people don't pay the proper fee to be on a priority base and that's it. I trade on binance, bittrex, local bitcoin exchanges my transaction never stucked.
Now the one and only reason why I like bitcoin? Because it's the pioneer and it's not been imposed on anyone to like it. People love it because it has proved itself on every forum anytime everywhere.
