I'm not trying to be disrespectful here, but you are definitely not a second order thinker. No one is arguing what you're straw manning here. And a majority of the people in this thread are highly technical. I'm not saying that BTC didn't "win" over BCH. I am saying the second order effects of winning caused us to lose in the long term, creating unintended consequences that have knock-on effects that I'm not sure that we can escape from. No one here is talking about getting rid of lightning. No one thinks that there was a literal war where guns were shot.
