Bitcoin Cash has handled more transactions than small-block core for two months now. https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-btc-bch.ht...

Read the first page of the Bitcoin whitepaper: https://www.bitcoin.com/bitcoin.pdf.

It's a protest against fees and intermediaries. Now we see BTC claim to be Bitcoin, but it is crippled by high fees and custodial intermediaries.

That's great to hear. I was following BCH back when their transactions were just a trickle. I was afraid the Craig Wright nonsense was going to completely end the chain. Refreshing to know that they are not just surviving, but thriving.

Intersting to see the downvotes, looks like the BTC vs BCH is quite polarizing even on HN

If only there was a low fee way of doing bitcoin transactions without custodial intermediaries...
