If bitcoin is myspace, bitcoin cash is facebook
Even Facebook has no downtime.
Neither does Bitcoin. Maybe it has network congestion, full blocks... so what? It's had virtually perpetual uptime since inception. Given that, and all the scaling optimizations Core has made over the years, and that BTC is clearly a victim of its own success (with the supposed capacity issues), I'd say that Bitcoin has performed beautifully.
If Bitcoin = Myspace, we are still far from its decline. Bitcoin's network and economy are still far bigger than any other.
Scaling and capacity issues are being solved by Segwit+LN.
I was meaning that BCH have some kind of "downtimes" due to the mining game with the EDA.
I agree that capacity issues will
hopefully be solved by LN, but that is up in the air. We have only seem preliminary testing. Routing is a very complex issue, but I am hopeful.
Since there is so little transaction activity on BCH's network, the low hash rate periods are not really "downtime." It's like other altcoins, which
appear to solve scalability issues simply because nobody uses them.
