BTC's 1 MB (or a bit more with segwit accounting) is just hopelessly obsolote, we could easily handle multiples without any issue whatsoever, and it would require a massive increase there after to reach the state of "one or two nodes".
Further, BCH isn't "turning down alternatives". It's a permissionless system after all, and it does have malleability fixes if you want to have layer two for it.
It's BTC who is blocking any on-chain scaling and bet everything on the experimental Lightning Network (that's still experimental mind you).
- stickfigure 4y agoBCH's block size is also hopelessly obsolete. You simply cannot fix the system by making the blocksize bigger, so BCH is a pointless exercise.
- lawn 4y agoIt's not pointless, it's necessary although not sufficient on its own.
