I'm not even a BCH maximalist, I just think that was the correct path for Bitcoin to take, not intentionally create artificial scarcity of block space and high fees to price out small transactions and drive most economic activity onto other chains.
I don't believe in HODL either. There needs to be a circular economy of individuals buying and selling goods and services, not just exchange speculating. That means people need to learn how to actually use it for commerce, not just how to load up a hardware wallet and forget everything else.
SPEDN N Replace is the way. :) BTC was taken over in 2014 after Gavin Andresen went to go talk with the CIA in 2011. It was then in 2014 that Blockstream (Good ol CIA naming, block the stream/flow of money) came into the scene and Bitcoin became more and more expensive to send along with the Willy Bot fiasco until it came to a head in 2017. Blockstream set Bitcoin back a decade or so but with the consistent upgrades BCH has been doing (it has had it's fair share of setbacks) BCH will eventually be peoples' money, not some pseudo gold 2.0 that enslaves us all over again.
BCH's Adjusted Blocksize Limit Algorithm (ABLA) that is coming out in May will address the scaling issue once and for all. And the BCH Cashtokens ecosystem that is growing allows BCH to have contracts similar to ETH functions. Cash Fusion is also built into several wallets so BCH has opt-in privacy via coin-mixing.
BTC can't scale because it was hamstrung (people were so worried about miner centralization they didn't see that the CIA captured the keys to development).
BCH and XMR are really the only free monies right now. Both with their pros and cons.
