Jack Dorsey is subscribed to the idea of "not your keys not, your coins". Will he get disappointed by BTC?
I've started learning about bitcoin since early 2017. At that time I liked the project as is. And I thought Bitcoin Cash fork was unnecessary and counter productive. But now no longer, Here's why.
The block limit is forcing users to leave the network specially at the times of peak usage. Such that we don't know how many users bitcoin could've had If the artificial limit wasn't there.
It is very apparent that users either do not bother even touching the BTC chain or they will move to other cryptos when BTC experiences this issue. They will not migrate to LN :(
I think it is great that we see BTC community is still advocating ideas like "Not your keys, not your coins". It will push people to actually try and use the chain. When we see BTC is running at 100% capacity, Significant amount of users will run away to other solutions. (bitcoin.com wallet is doing a great job on directing users to the right place :))
It's not about providing the lowest fee possible for usage of the chain. Anything reasonable will do. The issue is with the capacity limit.
On arguments against BTC, It's better to focus on the lost opportunities that bitcoin has with the cap in place.
I don't think It's a big deal to have higher fees in BCH as well as long as It's reasonable. The issue is with continuously running at full capacity.
