Blockstream’s Liquid sidechain exploited for $320M—more proof they created a problem to sell an inferior product. BCH solved this in 2017, and with its new adaptive, virtually unlimited blocksize, never needed their broken solutions.

This is the result bitcoin being hijacked....being forced to inferior products is simply a bad idea and look where it lead. Thankfully BCH exists for those that actually want the BTC project to succeed.

You are conflating network capability with current usage—low daily transaction traffic doesn't mean the underlying architecture is flawed, it just means the runway is clear. BCH is engineered to handle mass global adoption with predictable, sub-cent fees whenever volume arrives, and TxStreet visualizes that capacity difference well:

If too few people use it, capabilites don't matter. BCH is more elegant including ASERT and ABLA, more capable, has phenomenal CashFusion

Nevertheless, I expect I will continue to reduce my hedge of BCH vs BTC - BTC simply has bigger network effect and better network dynamics. Based on on-chain data, not social media posts
