My feeling is the BCH is more in line with Satoshi's white paper. The involvement of a corporate owned patent (LN) gives me pause for concern as well. There is no original Bitcoin. BTC and BCH forked from the same code and blockchain. Bitcoin Core radically changed by interfacing with LN and Bitcoin Cash followed the guidelines of the white paper by increasing the blocksize as Bitcoin has been doing since the block was measured in kilobytes in its early dsys. That's my take as an equal holder of BTC and BCH.
