Maybe it's because Bitcoin is being exposed as horse-and-carriage tech in the age of the Bullet Train.
Excessive tx fees and 200k tx backlog sounds like the internet circa 1995 when I used to connect with my 28.8k modem.
Over the weekend, I made 2 purchases, one with BTC and one with BCH. The Bitcoin transaction cost me $40.00+ in transaction fees and took over 6 hours for confirmation. The BCH transaction cost me $0.03.
Need I say more?
You could have read up on transaction fees to save yourself the cost. Are you promoting BCH or XRP? I prefer BCH.
Enough said.
