RE: Why Bitcoin Cash is so important
I think the core ideological difference is going to be whether off-chain scaling will be implemented in the future. I believe big blocks reduce the possibility of spammers disrupting on-chain transactions, but it is unfeasible for scaling towards thousands of transactions per second.

I agree that the blocksize increase is infeasible for long-term scalability, but in my opinion it was a required upgrade. The main point is that Bitcoin Cash is now open to additional forking if required, to increase scalability, as opposed to Bitcoin Original that was against any sort of fork in order to push SegWit and sidechains like the Lightning network.
Why exactly would Bitcoin cash not allow those 8 mb per block to be increased as needed?
