Simplicity in Action: The Bitcoin Cash Advantage

Throughout history and as technology evolves, we watch numerous professionals and employees striving to justify why their occupation is still meaningful and how it adds value to society, while the advance of technology is basically rendering these professions obsolete.

We watch it lately even more, and we also watch the reaction against rising technologies like AI and robotics.

Yet, progress is unstoppable. It is inevitable.

The world does not revolve around any single person or a team of individuals. It is not about them losing their jobs either.

Progress works for everyone for the better of humanity.

Those who do not understand it, won’t be humble enough to adapt.

They will always lag behind progress instead of predicting it and adjusting soon enough.

Either we envision the future and make adjustments, or we become stagnant and find excuses while failing to comprehend the changes around us.

I recommend reading: The Langoliers, a novella by Steven King (also a TV mini-series). It contains an allegory critical to help you acknowledge your position in this world as time and progress unfold.

"You are not in a Vacuum"

We don’t all see things the same way.

But things are often simpler than we think, and there is no need to complicate them further.

Overthinking is bad.

Maybe you got your money in BTC, but the fact is you won’t be using them unless trading off self-custody and parking your funds under the control of a centralized exchange.

The problem, though, is that to use your BTC on-chain, it might be more practical wrapping in tokenized form and move it through another blockchain.

You can’t move your BTC fast or with low fees.

BTC has become a token even today with WBTC on Ethereum, although this is an equally expensive network to use.

You can’t ask for wrapped BTC to help you move your BTC in centralized chains, or in chains like Ethereum that are even less efficient than BTC.

And since Lightning will never work properly for BTC, it will have to be other blockchains.

Two solutions exist for that. Either use the native token of other blockchains that work perfectly for this reason (XRP, BCH, XMR) or tokenize your assets and move them to a blockchain that offers this practice.

BTC doesn’t work as P2P Cash which was the initial intention.

Several alternatives out there have stood the test of time.

You can’t have your cake and eat it too, at least not with BTC.

Either you accept this is just a speculative asset you can’t use for anything else but price speculation, or you move on to something better.

Maybe someone skipped the whole blocksize debate in 2015 or perhaps didn’t focus on it too much, but there is always time to revisit history and find out what happened.

Best chance: You can only have the BTC sitting on the blockchain and waiting for congestion to end to make a few payments here and there.

Or, as some suggest, they don’t mind paying the $50 or $70 fees.

Still, when something may be working for you, it doesn’t mean it works for everyone else.

The world is not static, or as Marc Cuban suggested to BTC maximalists a couple of years ago: “ You are not in a Vacuum”.

Bitcoin’s rhetoric falls into the composition fallacy.

Having a certain approach does not mean the whole world thinks the same.

Furthermore, the economy is a constant process of changing trends, habits, and conditions.

In Conclusion

(source)

There is a point when all discussions with the BTC proponents reach a conclusion beyond logic with irrational arguments brought up.

One time someone said:

“Everything will be a sidechain to Bitcoin”

Not really. We can’t cancel innovation and make it all about BTC.

Maybe a Bitcoin BTC whale can easily tokenize their BTC and move them to Bitcoin Cash, as with the 2023 CashTokens upgrade, this is possible now.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone if BTC appears as a wrapped token in Cashtokens, Bitcoin Cash.

Actually, this way the BTC holders will enjoy instant transactions with low fees (lower than a penny) and can participate in the rising decentralized finance community of Bitcoin Cash.

I have few BCH Balance and I like to sell it in future. Hope it will up and my amount will be high.

After I sold some of my BCH balance because it went up then the price went down for some time, but after that BCH price would go up even higher. I really don't understand.

The price is too low to sell. With everything going on I may consider selling only a 5% of my holdings when price reaches $1000. Even so, this will only be this small. 5% and perhaps I should raise the $1000 low target even higher.

I don't have an immediate need for fiat money, though. Still, consider this: Why when you sell, there are always buyers? Why do you think they buy your BCH? There is a long term vision here. Bitcoin Cash can make a difference.

Eventually, it will rise significantly more. All of us together make a difference. Being part of read.cash, noise.cash, promoting BCH on Twitter, advertising it with friends and family, explaining the Bitcoin wallet to friends at school and passing them some BCH to test it, explaining it to colleagues at work.

And looking at the charts I can say that BCH finally stated to have a different pattern than the others

It takes certain steps for the market to react positively. I know that it is not completely irrational and especially at this point the funds move into projects working for developments and adoption.

Powerful within just a simple statement. I love it! "BCH works."

Yes, this is the message. It works, so there is not a lot of discussion against it, besides the price that didn't follow BTC into parabolic rise.

BCH is really good but BTC I didn't know if really works. This is good than ever Mr. Pantera as the fast transaction.

BCH is more functional comparatively BTC (Nothing more than a pioneer of the crypto). But if we look upon the BCH p2p electronic cash, more ethical and hastily can be transferred !

Speaking of "BCH works" the market really works which I found a sign.

Indeed Over thinking is bad so we should think positive and go with the flow.

I've watched it on TV years about a decade ago but was stuck with the message it sends. Somehow I remembered it while thinking of the stagnation of BTC. If you watch the movie you will understand my parallelism.

"BCH works - BTC doesn't." I love it, simple and fast

Yes, it is like that. We don't have to complicate what is simple!
