RE: What do they think about this? According to scientists from the US government "Bitcoin is a fork and Bitcoin Cash is the original"

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

There is such divisiveness in the Bitcoin community about how to deal with its scalability issues, this is the kind of question that can lead to much chest-thumping and heated debate. But my view is, does it really matter? In some sense, neither is the original. BTC branched from the "original" when its miners decided to embrace SegWit (as noted in the report above) as their preferred bandaid for scalability. But BCH branched from the "original" when its miners decided to increase the block size from the "original" 1MB to 8MB. Neither fundamentally solves the issue. For details on why, I offer my post Bitcoin is Dead! Long-Live Crypto-Economies. I'm very new on Steem, so comments, upvotes and resteems are much appreciated.
