Sending a small amount of money with BTC is possible using the Lightning Network, but it's really incredibly simpler with BCH... you just send it.

I've been reading a lot about Lightning and how it allows to send small amounts of money using BTC with low fees and fast.

It actually works quite nicely once you have everything setup, and it's fast with cheap fees (once you already paid for the channel opening). It's a bit tricky to get all the moving parts setup though.

With BCH there's nothing to setup, you just send it. No need to open a different wallet or do anything special. It's night and day.
