For the future between bitcoin and BCH that have a bright future but I think BCH is better for the long term which has good potential in the development of block.
For fast and reliable transaction bitcoin is the best.Bitcoin can handle hundreds of thousands transaction per second and cannot encounter any problem at all.BCH and Bitcoin is good for a long term investments Max Transaction Capacity Bitcoin Core Onchain Transactions per second , If they could scale up to 4meg, then 28 transactions per second or 2419200 transaction per day , but in truth they are most likely less than half at ~12 transaction per second or 1036800 transactions per day. In Theory LN Offchain Transactions will allow a scaling of transaction to exceed Visa, but offchain only. Bitcoin Cash Onchain Transactions with a 32mb block : 224 transactions per second or 19353600 transactions per day Using multiple 3rd parties offchain transactions also allow Bitcoin Cash/(any coin) scaling to exceed visa. (No segwit or LN needed.)

Which of the leading cryptocurrencies will become more scalable and efficient in the long term?
I think that BCH is right answer but remember that it is just a fork of original BTC. The amount of people which support BTC or BCH is extremely influence on coin`s importance also.

I think we should invest in both coins because we never know who will be winner. Now I see that bitcoin cash has more volatility then bitcoin. Because bitcoin has more capitalization. But if you want trade, with Bitcoin cash you can earn more money and faster.

I think in the long run, bitcoin has a better chance. BTH will not stand the competition with bitcoin and will disappear. I believe that this will happen in 2-3 years. BTH speculative coin with no real application

I think bitcoin is still the strongest currency. The price increase of BCH is very big but to get top 1 of BTC is too difficult

anyone thinking LN is a feature locked to bitcoin core network would be dead wrong. its not going to be something that renews bitcoin core network with anything that other networks will not also have.
this is because LN will be its own network that many other currencies will use. the core devs admit this. that is the whole point of segwit address format BC1q. so that other networks can have their own currency identity. such as LTC would have LC1q on the LN network
so while many coins would all be using LN, the question still will be, what has bitcoin core devs done specifically to upgrade the bitcoin core network to make it more feature filled, and atleast more scaling proof than other networks that too will use LN.
emphasise this in your mind when thinking of the answer: when all currencies use LN. what has the bitcoin core network alone got as a scaling advantage that othr networks wont have?
and to those who hate that people define the network as the bitcoin core network should read some code about what caused the segwit activation. and the new block structure acceptance and the new network topology, the new transaction formats. and that it had to be a mandatory signalling, rather than a consensus choice
bool fVersionBits = (pindex->nVersion & VERSIONBITS_TOP_MASK) == VERSIONBITS_TOP_BITS; bool fSegbit = (pindex->nVersion & VersionBitsMask(chainparams.GetConsensus(), Consensus::DEPLOYMENT_SEGWIT)) != 0; if (!(fVersionBits && fSegbit)) { return state.DoS(0, error("ConnectBlock(): relayed block must signal for segwit, please upgrade"), REJECT_INVALID, "bad-no-segwit"); }
the code shows that blocks NOT signalling for cores NEW segwit protocol will get rejected. this included rejecting any legacy(bitcoin 2009-2016) block versions that would have been mined on august 1st 2017
yep bitcoin core network rejected blocks on august 1st that were not signalling cores new protocol. again for emphasis including block formats of bitcoin 2009-2016 which if people could read code shows that bitcoin core is not a continuation of the bitcoin 2009-2016 network but a fork away from it by rejecting blocks of that format known as bitcoin 2009-2016..
also. if cores new protocol was truly backward compatible (not needing new nodes to translat as a upfilter/bridge node to old clients) (not refusing to relay unconfirmed segwit transactions to old clients)
then the upgrade could have occured by not changing the versionbits and not have to reject legacy blocks. and instead get the opposition to set a version bit. in which the feature would only activate if there was less than 5% showing the version bit change (95% acceptance).
but no the segwit code is NOT backward compatible. it requires a middleman translater in the form of nodes (as gmax calls upstream filters, luke JR calls bridge nodes) to translate and reformat the blockchain. and the network topology had to change to put the old clients on an outer ring of the network. whereby they are not part of the peer to peer relay network, but downstream/bridged from the relay network
in short analogy english speaking nodes of 2009-2016 do not understand the dutch speaking blockchain of 2017-2018. core/segwit nodes can speak dutch and english. the network of 2017-8 is now dutch but the new population can translate and cut down the dutch informtion into a short version that any remaining minority race(old clients) left can be handed. but english speaking nodes cannot be part of the unconfirmd dutch transaction relay postal service because they wont understand dutch.
emphasis. even the core devs admit to this
now to those that still think that core are kings and deserve the power. where will you stand when they retire, decide to do other projects EG if all the core devs decided at mid day tomorrow to all stop coding. and then 10 minutes later a bug was found that affects all nodes running cores segwit code. what would your attitude be. would it be calm collected "its ok" or would you panic
you might think core are your kings. but they are not immortal.
if any of you core defenders actually cared about "bitcoin" as a decentralised network. you would not defend core. you would request they disband their mantatory rules and never use mandatory upgrades again(unless network killing bug found) and only use consensus of a open decentralised network for upgrades. whereby the community combine idea's to a unified compromise that all node client software would release a version of that would require less than 5% opposition to activate.
emphasis: consensus, compromise, community de-emphasis: mantatory, contentious rejection, control
also bitcoin cash are not backward compatible. this is why its called a bilateral split. NEITHER side is a true backward compatible continuation of the 2009-2016 network. which is where the debate begins of who should own brand "bitcoin".. to which the easy answer is NEITHER. no one should own the brand.
instead its much simpler to say bitcoin core bitcoin cash
... i now expect the standard onslaught of reddit script rebuttles defending core, then pretending its not core its bitcoin, then defending core again.. but ultimately not defending the true ethos of bitcoin as a decentalised everyone on the same level playing field of consensus network
have a nice day. remember core are not immortal. where will you stand if CORE they stopped coding in 24 hours

There is nothing else except itself Bitcoin cant be replaced by anyone. There are lots of feature that make it invulnerable. These are :
1. Fast in Transaction. 2. Worldwide acceptance of crypto. 3. Low Transaction Fees. 4. High Security feature acceptance.

Will it be Bitcoin with its Layer Two solutions such as the Lightning Network and Sidechains?
Or Bitcoin Cash with its on-chain scaling solutions by increasing the block size limit?
when you look at things in this perspective you can see that bitcoin can always implement the "block size increase" solution anytime we wanted in the future and have that side of bitcoin cash. but bitcoin cash can never implement SegWit and Lightning Network because if it does then they will be negating the first and only reason they forked off which was because they said 1) no changes like SegWit 2) scaling should only be done on-chain. if you break your only reason for existence then you should not even exist. in short if BCH implements SegWit and LN even if they call it something else and mask it in different ways, BCH price will drop down hard because the little number of believes they have will dump it and go away.

Bitcoin and bitcoin cash is I think it's the same cryptocurrency. The bitcoin is a worldwide payment system and decentralized digital currency while bitcoin cash it's brings sound money to the world.

Max Transaction Capacity
Bitcoin Core Onchain Transactions per second , If they could scale up to 4meg, then 28 transactions per second or 2419200 transaction per day , but in truth they are most likely less than half at ~12 transaction per second or 1036800 transactions per day. In Theory LN Offchain Transactions will allow a scaling of transaction to exceed Visa, but offchain only.
Bitcoin Cash Onchain Transactions with a 32mb block : 224 transactions per second or 19353600 transactions per day
Using multiple 3rd parties offchain transactions also allow Bitcoin Cash/(any coin) scaling to exceed visa. (No segwit or LN needed.)
LN is not a feature locked to bitoin cores network. the bitcoin core developers admitted this as part of their segwit address format BC1q proposals for LN as for bitcoin cores ONCHAIN tx/s. again. admitted by the bitcoin core devs. even with 4mb "weight" allowance. the dependancy of the legacy restraint on the blockchain, has stistically made it so even if there was 100% transaction utility of segwit format tx's. only expect 2.1x tx capacity boost compared to the norm. as for the 7tx/s(never achieved in 9 years by the way) thats based on 2009 theory of IF every transaction in a legacy block being a lean 1input 1 output tx to allow for 4200tx(=7tx/s). but the reality is that will not happen. on average its only ~2100tx a block(3.5tx/s) not 4200tx a block(7tx/s). thus IF everyone used a segwit tx format expect (~2100 legacy*2.1) segwit at ~4500 tx a block.. but again thats only an IF everyone used segwit tx format. so again dont expect 7tx/s as a norm the reason for "weight" being x4 but not offering 4x capacity is for other bloaty features to come. which dont help transaction count increase but will fill the remaining "weight" buffer without havingas much impact on decreasing tx capacity. take this as an example. of how you wont get 4x tx capacity. 2mb data. but only 225 tx's in the block https://blockchain.info/block-height/505225and what i just said is words from those in the core team. thus feel free to laugh if core fans try to rip their own teams stats apart to then try over promoting features the propagandists dont even understand.

Or Bitcoin Cash with its on-chain scaling solutions by increasing the block size limit? I would like to know your thoughts about this. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) As for me, I will choose the use of bitcoin because bitcoin is easier to do. That means, it will be more efficient because when doing transactions with bitcoin we can have easier transactions but if bitcoin Cash, people still have to convert them back to bitcoin then transact it once again. That is my opinion.

"Segwit is not compatible with legacy nodes".
If you are going to be technical about it then discuss it in this topic, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3670474.0As the network as it is now, it is backwards compatible. Legacy nodes "read" the Segwit transactions with the witness data stripped off and accept the blocks according to the consensus rules. have a nice day. remember core are not immortal. where will you stand if CORE they stopped coding in 24 hours
Then that is where you should look for good developers to follow. Not the developers that Roger Ver uses for his politics. Plus Bitcoin Cash does not Roger Ver. They would be a better community without him.

I have the feeling this will become a bigger war about which of the both Coins will survive this as the leading coin if it get's pumped that huge. I hope it will not affect the market too much again like the regular BTC pumps, but I am afraid, if this will go on for a while it will have a big impact on the altcoin market.

Just see how Bitcoincash promotes their product. Misleading people to think Bcaash is Bitcoin. Some people buy Bitcoin cash thinking they're buying Bitcoin. Then they discover they bought the wrong coin. Everything on the website bitcoin.com is done to confuse people.
Outside, buying the @bitcoin handle on Twitter to promote Bitcoin Cash and deny Bitcoin. Using the Bitcoin logo (lol?) Using sockpuppets accounts on the web. If you have a real product, you would not need to use such marketing methods
Who is interested to use an altcoin like this one?

The increase in the size of the BCH block is also positive, but for investors the main thing is that the investment would bring income. They do not really care about the structure of BCH. As soon as all the news announce that Bitcoin is worse than BCH, then the Bitcoin Cash era will begin.
