Very cool that you have a crypto ATM nearby! I'm going to have to research where the nearest one is around Wilmington, NC.

You are spot on that "Bitcoin Cash haters are vocal." It really is a shame that so much of the intelligent technical discussions are drowned out in the screaming back and forth (BCH supporters can be just as bad as BTC).

To me the big changes are three fold:
-Blocksize (and soon BCH will increase to 32mb on 5/15)
-Segregated Witness ("The purpose was to solve malleability." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SegWit)
-Difficulty adjustment (DAA)

I personally am excited about bitcoin cash scaling out, especially with this change in May to add suppressed OP Codes. This will be a game changer as the real possibilities of complex computation ON CHAIN will be enabled.

Thank you for the post!
