bcash? It's wild to me that we are almost 8 years after the blocksize war and some people still don't understand why we need small blocks. Boggles the mind.

bcash blocks are too large which, if people actually used it (which they don't) it would centralize node operation only to large datacenters that can process the blocks fast enough to validate them.

This means that a normal person, such as myself, who does not have access to millions of dollars of hardware and a low-latency datacenter to house is, cannot independently verify the blockchain, new blocks, and new transactions.

This means that the network is not trustless anymore, and that is the one thing that bitcoin has that no other monetary network in the history of civilization has had. You've just thrown the baby out with the bath-water, so to speak.

Bcash is garbage, a shitcoin, and going to 0 against bitcoin. In fact it's well on it's way to 0 already. Bcash is down 98% since it high against bitcoin just after the fork. If you had 1.0 bitcoin and you bought bcash after the fork, congratulations you have 0.02 bitcoin now.

If you support bcash you are either:

1. paid to do so

2. ignorant

I never said everyone should run a full node. That's not the point. The point is anyone can. I run a full node and I would never store my family's wealth in a network where I couldn't run my own node, with my own compilation of the code, where I have direct physical access to the hardware.

You can say "bcash is designed to scale and remain decentralized" but that's just talk. The reality is that it gains scalability in exchange for verifyability.

You can use any network you like. I will use one where I can verify every transaction and every block myself.

what's amusing is you say "decentralized" in the same paragraph where you say "but not everyone can run their own node". You justify that by saying "well, not everyone has to". But all you're really doing is contracting yourself.

If not everyone can run a node, then it's not trustless. It's really quite simple and has nothing to do with "banker talking points". I knew that I wanted to be able to validate the chain myself long before the "bankers" were involved in bitcoin. Before bcash was created, adding yet another failed contentious hardfork.

There is a reason that bcash is down 98%. And it's not "talking points". It's because many of us who have studied enough to understand what's important in a monetary network realize that bcash is a centralized garbage shitcoin.

Bitcoin only. You'll learn, one way or the other.
