🔀 Bitcoin Cash Goes Crazy - From $400 to $1800 In 2 Weeks 😵 Is That The New Bitcoin?

BCH cant replace bitcoin because it has the same scalability issues as bitcoin. Block sizes are limited and will eventually fill up on the BCH chain, even though they can hold several times more transactions per block than BTC can; and then users will have to start upping their fees on the BCH chain just like they have had to do on the BTC chain.

The slight advantage BCH has in terms of lower fees will last about three months and then BCH will be right where BTC was with rising fees as users compete to get their transactions preferentially added into the next block.

What BCH lacks is an open and honest team of developers who have the community's interests in mind. When BCH reaches transaction saturation, its owners will abandon it and it will become worthless.

BTC will never die, just multiply.

Well said. But to be honest I don´t think that BTC will ever be a real currency that´s being used on a daily basis. Having a look at the current costs to keep it alive it´s almost irrational compared to other cryptocurrencies just like Bitshares or Steem, which can process thousands of transactions with a very low energy input.

I too wish some other altcoin with low fees to be used as the main/global crypto currency... The fees of BTC are already unbearable.
