I decided today that I'd rather die on my feet then on my knees. Revolutions don't happen with a bunch of lackadaisical splitcoiners trying to play the middle. BCash has no kind of a certain future whatsoever. Here's the growing list of reasons I've left bCash.

1) How is BCH going to have any kind of network security whatsoever if the lead developers and influencers are all "fighting spam" and trying to stop people from using the chain if it doesn't fit their narrative of coffee shop transactions?

2) The analyzable tragectory of cumulative BCH tx fee revenue is pathetic despite the merchant adoption they claim to have, so what they're doing is clearly not working. BSV literally has almost twice the fee revenue with almost zero coffee shops onboard.

3) i disagree that there exists "spam" or "illegitimate" transactions. All transactions offer the ever-so-precious fee revenue, which we are about FOUR ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE LACKING, and logically, anyone that understands Austrian Economics knows that the ONLY reason someone would act to send a tx is because it benefits them in some way. Even if people are literally dumping money into Satoshi shotguns to burn just to show off their chain, they're doing that because it makes them happy, and it's seasoning and paying the miners, making them stronger long term and more profitable short term.

4) We have no idea whether or not Avalanche is going to have unintended incentive consequences. We have no idea what kind of disasterous bug it could release on the network. It could do anything, it's so convoluted of a proposal that nobody can feel sure at all that it's not going to hurt BCH.

5) The commitment to Proof of Stake within avalanche is ideologically repulsive, and enables oligarchical control of the chain. BCH is going to be one step closer to EOS/Ethereum, and one step farther away from Bitcoin.

6) All these super convoluted and ultimately unnecessary consensus level changes are going to create heaps of technical debt that's going to take decades to stamp out, and we don't have decades before Bitcoin security becomes cripplingly weak.

7) Amaury has too much damn power over the protocol, he's too divisive, and I don't think it's safe having him basically control a network, both in general and because he seems eternally ready to cause another catastrophic network split.

8) Coinmixing is a mistake. It doesn't help fungibility, all it's doing is attracting the attention of governments. This wasn't something that should have been put on BCH.

9) SLP tokens are another flawed invention. Why would you put money on op return? Data is one thing, and that eventually can be put on other things like pushdata4, but why put potentially millions worth of cash on a prunable op return?

10) The Bitcoin Cash community pretends to hate censorship, but I know from first hand it's a censorship happy circle jerk with questionable members. I've been banned from subreddits and telegram groups alike, ultimately for my opinion, as people with different opinions and the same or worse behavior are never even given warnings. I've seen most prominent BSV people banned actually, and I don't see proof for any claimed infractions.

And why do I choose Bitcoin SV?

1) We're shooting for onchain activity. We are increasing in that area fast.

2) We are committed to no chain restrictions and no core protocol modifications. This is the highest utility version of bitcoin.

3) With KYCed tokens, we can onramp all fiat systems in the world onto Bitcoin, and there's actual hope for it. You can build a user friendly PayPal/Venmo powered by Bitcoin, without them knowing they're using bitcoin.

4) We're shooting for onchain privacy without enabling criminals and getting governments to hate us.

5) Everything about Bitcoin SV resembles what Satoshi wanted. Things are going to end up in data centers, and if you don't like it, sorry, that's capitalism, you can create an altcoin and have your Altcoin price pegged to Bitcoin, but you need bitcoin to exist first.

6) As a newbie programmer, I see huge value in nchains payment channels development roadmap. I want to use that to make fast and cheap onchain computer games and apps. I also like Overpool.

7) Bitcoin SV is super cheap and I love how everyone embraces 0-conf.

8) I love the embrace of economics in SV without the effort to compromise with anticoncepts like "decentralization". If you like decentralization at all costs, then don't shop at Walmart, go to a different store for everything you buy.

9) I don't think BSV is ever going to split ever again. What would it be over? Nobody wants to change the core protocol here. Can't say the same of BCH.

10) Unlike BCH, we can flip BTC not just with price but by dwarfing it's hashrate. We just need that fee revenue to roll in. Price doesn't have to be the final battle, hashrate can be. And if we're powerful enough, we can threaten the very existence of BTC and possibly bring it down. It would deserve it after all these years of hindering economic growth and destroying the community.

These are my reasons I've made the switch. What's yours?
