Bitcoin Cash (BCH) thread
12-23-2017, 07:59 PM
I moved my Litecoin buys to BCH. I don't care about the dubious character assassination on Ver. He has created a product that has the potential to be superior to Bitcoin, and which is working great as of now. I believe it's worth owning, at least as a hedge to Bitcoin's potential downfall.
Also, the attacks on Ver reminds me of when people attacked me. People are narrowing in on emotional issues and blowing them up, usually concerning his opinions. Once I start seeing him sabotaging BCH like Bitcoin Core developers are doing to Bitcoin, I'll listen.

CMIIW, besides the 'technological improvements' and interesting character of Roger Ver, what is being promoted right now is that Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is taking on the original meaning of Bitcoin (BTC), which is to have a decentralized monetary system.
That is the main idea behind it. But I've heard from a friend that smart money is moving into BCH. I personally haven't found any sources that support this; however, my friend has been quite good with his predictions and strategies.
I've read a myriad of articles, but it seems that there are conflicting views whether or not BCH is actually carrying on the intended purpose of BTC, which is to become a global currency.
What are your thoughts? If you could provide links that'd be great.
Cheers,
BE

What's the easiest way to get BCH, though, not on an exchange?

Just sent some BCH to an exchange. Doesn't seem to move that quickly, pretty slow in fact...has taken an hour to do 6 confirmations. Both LTC and ETH moved a lot faster than that. Is that normal?

^ If that's the case I don't see why BCH would succeed based on the idea that it's a "better Bitcoin", there are already tons of other "better Bitcoins" that are also faster and cheaper than BCH. Or what am I missing here.

The other better bitcoins can't be called bitcoin, ever.
BCH could be called bitcoin in future, if the current bitcoin dies, or even just goes significantly lower in value to BCH.

I see. If the only merits it has are branding I might sell down my stake a little bit.

Just did a BCH transfer. It takes just as long as BTC, but the fees are at least 10x lower.

Yeah I've had to do a few recently as well - I've been moving things with BCH because the fees are so much lower. Litecoin is my favorite so far though. Barely two minutes and it's there.

Don't forget that bitcoin has the highest volume. From what my tech nerds friends have explained to me, if Litecoin had as much volume as bitcoin does now, it wouldn't have much of an advantage anymore. And, the bitcoin teams are still working on their scaling too...

Good point. So as Litecoin volume goes up, do the fees also get higher along with the transaction time?

Would the easiest way to get dirty BCH be to get a BTC then trade it for bitcoin cash?

BCH is a sure bet. Most people on the dark web use it nowadays, it's already replaced bitcoin. BTW the fees are not "10 times lower than BTC". They are 1000 times lower than BTC
