How is BCH the altcoin when it is much closer to what bitcoin looked like pre segwit? Segwit is the altcoion. segwit may or may not be a clever tech but looking at it from an outside perspective Core has changed bitcoin so much it can't be called bitcoin anymore. BCH on the other hand solved the block problem in the simplest way without changing the under lying technology.
Also don't underestimate who is suporting BCH. Some powerful people with very deep pockets. This is also obvious when looking at the price development.
When it comes down to it it's not you or me that get to determine what fork is the real bitcoin. The market has the final word on this. Lets see what happens.
CLoser to what Bitcoin looked pre segwit? Ok, if I do a clone right now, my fork will be the real Bitcoin because it is closer to the real thing? Bullshit.
Segwit was approved with 100% Bitcoin hashrate consensus. So anything not having Segwit is NOT Bitcoin. It's simple.
BCH may be a clone of an EX-Bitcoin.... which it isn't, because it has MANY changes: Difficulty adjustment algo, Block Size, etc etc..... but it isn't Bitcoin and will never be.
Want to think it is better than Bitcoin and it will dethrone it? Ok, not completely impossible, but that won't make it Bitcoin.
