Look I understand that segwit did change somewhat how Bitcoin worked but to many it was a necessary change. There was consensus for segwit majorly the miners just did not want it. Maybe you can call it a flaw in POW but there was consensus for segwit. Not 100% mind you but more than 70%. Roger Ver arguments are flawed. Give me his and I can disprove them all. Roger Ver was someone I respected but he has a much flawed idea on how Bitcoins works...
And please don't say Blockstream controls bitcoin-that got to be one of the most dumbest theories I ever saw.
Plus if we have the follow the whitepaper and Nakamoto...
He did give the idea of the LN and he did say the thing that keeps Bitcoin, Bitcoin is the hashpower. Bitcoin cash or BCH can try to defeat Bitcoin to become the real Bitcoin but until then BTC is Bitcoin and BCH is an altcoin/not Bitcoin.
And I share this view while being diversified as well.
And most of what @michiel said is true, there are part he exaggerated majorly.

Consensus is not only reached by the miners, but by the entire community. Users are able to pull miners in a certain direction by creating incentive for miners to mine the most valuable chain which is decided by the users by supply and demand. This multi layer decentralisation is not a flaw but a feature. Bitcoin would have failed already otherwise.
