As a miner, this is a scenario I have talked about and brought up to people before...
Some miners care about the profitable coin, others care about its culture and ecosystem...
You see it all the time, miners jumping pools/changing algorithms to mine the most profitable, while I have other friends who mine coins and go negative because they believe in the coins future.
Great post, upvoted and resteemed.
Seems that BCH could become the more profitable to mine AND maybe more in line with the original vision/culture/ecosystem. I'm sure there will be die hard bitcoin enthusiasts who will never switch simply because bitcoin was first. You can never take that away from bitcoin. But, at the end of the day, I want to see the coin succeed that really fights centralization and oppression and corporate influences, and time will tell if that is BTC, BCH or something else entirely. Like, wink wink, ZenCash. Been following that project for awhile and am super excited about the secure node feature.
I completely agree which is why I only mine ZenCash right now... gotta support the ecosystem you believe in, and they are what I think crypto-currencies originally aimed to be.
Really glad to hear that from a miner. I'm just a layman, but I'm super into what they're striving for and think they have a great team.
They have in my opinion, the best currency structure for an anonymously and decentralized currency and the team behind the tech is awesome!
I really see them picking up more steem in the coming years.
