Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to understand the key differences between these two projects. r/bitcoin and r/btc tend to be very polarized, and I'm looking for honest facts. My understanding is the following:

BTC has decided to go with a lower block size, therefore lowering the bar for people to run full nodes and ensuring decentralization going into the future (at the risk of higher fees)

BCH, on the other hand, has decided to progressively increase the block size over time, allowing for lower fees, but decreasing the number of individuals who can run nodes and increasing the risk of centralization and even a takeover over the network.

The majority of people running nodes decided to stay on the Bitcoin-Core fork, while a large minority have decided to move to BCH.

Is my understanding correct?
