When the MemPool is not spammed, transactions are cheap and fast!

I did move my Real BTCs inside my Ledger Nano S to SegWit address sunday evening, 3 transactions with 20 satochis per byte fee (=less than 50 cents fee per transaction), the first test tx was confirmed in less than 6 minutes, the “savings” moving txs confirmed in less than 20 minutes.

Then looking at Jochen MemPool website, you can easily see that when spammers fill the BCrash blocks to show it can handle big blocks and leave BTC alone, the BTC MemPool melts as snow in the sun, and later you see a whole lot of irrelevant transactions which are called SPAM and then the fees and delays grow again.

Fees and delays are just manipulating politics, propaganda.

SegWit works, it runs on Litecoin as well and I am seeing the very near future with Bitcoin low fees and fast transactions being seen as “Savings” while Lightning Networks and Atomic Swaps will allow Litecoin to be used as the petty cash.

And while the value of Bcrash sinks, clever people are topping up with LTC, the Silver of Cryptos, which value doubled in a month and I still consider it about 10x underevaluated…

BTC and LTC have Real Life Uses as Currencies, Merchants, ATMs, they as well have WorldWide Security focussed teams of Educated Devs.

BCrash was a egocentristic experiment by 2 kiddiedevs who just took Core’s code, stripped away security fixes and new features and decided to give it a so big block that it cannot be mined by “small” miners which leads to a total centralization.
You just have to look that depending on the difficulty adjustment (which is cheating on BCH), when difficulty is high, there remains a 75–90% unnamed pool of miners which could be North Korean.

In fact, BCrash is maybe Bitcoin-Kim-Jong-Un!?!

I remember when one mining pool reached 49% of hashpower a couple years ago, everyone feared a “51% attack”… BCrash is BCentral, owned and controled by a pool centralizing at least 60% hash power.

Once Conbase will have released their fakecoins to their customers, BCrash will just join the “Forgotten and Worthless Fake-Bitcoin Club” with Bitcoin Dark, Bitcoin Plus, Bitcoin Fast, Bitcoin 21, Bitcoin TX, Bitcoin Scrypt down the list on CoinMarketCap.
