The chart you share is buggy. If you click on the block size, you'll see it measures Bitcoin blocks as being around 800kb. This indicates that it's ignoring the segwit witness data. In reality, BCH blocks are a about 1/3 the size as Bitcoin blocks for the last 7 days: https://fork.lol/blocks/size https://fork.lol/blocks/size. If you zoom out to the last year, you can see that BCH had a rise and fall in number of transactions per block, whereas Bitcoin was consistent: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-btc-bch.html#1y https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-btc-bch.ht... I don't see how Ethereum relates to the dearth of real-world traction BCH has versus Bitcoin. Moreover, Ethereum has a different block emission rate, a different pricing model for transactions, and a different wire format for representing them, so size and quantity measurement comparisons are apples to oranges. Suffice it to say that both Bitcoin and Ethereum's transaction capacities are maxed out (signaling high demand), whereas this is not the case for BCH.

I linked transaction count, not block size. You said that Bitcoin Cash was cheap because "no one uses it" which is not true. It is 1/1000th the cost per transaction while still having more transactions than btc. > I don't see how Ethereum relates to the dearth of real-world traction BCH has versus Bitcoin. You said transactions on "chains no one uses are cheap". Ethereum has multiple times the transactions of bitcoin and still has slightly cheaper transactions. > so size and quantity measurement comparisons are apples to oranges. No they aren't. More transactions, not more expensive. > Suffice it to say that both Bitcoin and Ethereum's transaction capacities are maxed out (signaling high demand), whereas this is not the case for BCH. Bitcoin Cash is not maxed out because they expanded their maximum block size to 32MB instead of leaving it crippled like bitcoin. That's like saying there is no demand for ford fusions because they don't have a waiting list like tesla. It makes zero sense at all. It is baffling that you would say something like that. The things you are saying are not true. It is clear that you aren't trying to find out what is true, you have something you want to convince other people or yourself of. You don't get on a subway car and see an empty seat and say there is no demand because you saw a full rickshaw. This isn't just a stretch, it is a ridiculous nonsense argument and makes me believe you are emotionally invested enough to say thing contradicted by basic logic.

  Look, if you don't understand the tech, just say so. I'm happy to provide any clarifications and answer any questions you might have. EDIT: For example, do you still hold the misguided belief that non-mining nodes serve no purpose on a blockchain's peer network? We spoke of it a few months back.

    Lol, to recap, you said things which are not only not true, but trivial to show have no relation to reality. Then, when shown evidence you try to gish gallop on to unrelated topics and say "you don't understand". Why can't you back up what you say? Bitcoin Cash has 32x the max block size. This isn't difficult to grasp. Bitcoin - $60 transactions while Bitcoin Cash has $0.02 transactions.
