Hi @btcmillennial, You might want to read my other comment for your other post first. I'm thinking the lady I was talking to from China has BCH and not BTC. It is all bitcoin to her. Now I wish I has some myself!
I have always believed that btc is the dinosaur that brought attention, but will not be able to keep up with the times. Like the situation with IBM later getting killed off by apple and microsoft. The big guy got the people to use computers and want them. The little guys had superior tech and won the long game. Your information here makes me feel that even more strongly.
BCH has put its focus on delivery fast peer to peer transactions on-chain, whereas BTC is going about it off-chain. BCH is also focusing on the utilization of the cellular network, which is terrific for China, where mobile payments make the bulk of transactions. All of Africa benefits, too, where cellular networks are the primary method for financial inclusion.
This goes for all of SE Asia. I use a laptop and barely use a phone for anything. My SE Asian friends often have never even had a computer - they went from nothing to the phone and you should see how good they all are on them. It's light years ahead of the west.
In the us, people shun BCH. Won't they be shocked to find out they missed the boat.
Also - Due to SEC reporting regulations, many exchanges here will not deal with us citizens. I am Canadian, thank God. I sign up for an exchange and have to affirm I am not a citizen of Iraq, North Korea, Syria or the US and all of their territories like the Virgin Islands and US Samoa. This is the strangest list of countries to see!
