People on here are so stuck in price speculation it seems as if fundamentals have no meaning. If BCC performs better than BTC as an actual currency, then it renders the politics meaningless.
Yup. I've had this debate several times on here and Reddit with people.
They're too stuck in the hardcore - "BTC was the first! NO OTHER COIN EVA!"/Satoshi is God/ETH is a ponzi - mode.
They don't see things from consumer perspective. As a consumer, if I have to wait 20 minutes for my Pizza if I pay with BTC, but I can get it instantly with BCC/BCH (or whatever), then I'm gonna use the faster one. Simple as that. Consumers don't give a fuck about technicals, history, development ideology etc.
There is a place for a coin that's slow, but with high value, as BTC was pre-BIP91 (it remains to be seen just how effective that is in terms of reducing time & fees in the longer term). Of course. It becomes digital gold. A store of value. But isn't used for day to day, "normal", spending. On things like pizza. (Which is always the example thrown up from the early BTC days, hence using it now.) As things stand right now, there is definitely a gap in the market for something that allows fast, day to day, micro-transactions. In other words, it works well in the real, retail, world. I imagine the infrastructure changes the retail people would have to make to switch to BCC/BCH would be minimal as it's from the same bloodline as BTC ....
so Like father like son !!!
