    What is the point? What is the point of the new coins? Why? I'm so confused.

    I just exchanged all my Bitcoin cash for Bitcoins on fairlay for next to nothing and I'm fine about it

    It was about $400 or so when fairlay transferd it into players accounts back in sept...now it’s like 2500$ was even higher over 3k....the transfer rate at fairlay is pretty good I use it all the time...it’s cheaper to deposit with it or other cryptos and fast cheaper withdrawals esp when btc network is messed up...next year bitpay will take btc cash for card loads which will be nice much lower fees

    The blockchain uses a consensus system. If you, me or anyone else thinks we know how to code a 'bitcoin' better than the original core group then we have the power to do just that.

    If enough nodes and mining power support your idea then the new coin will survive. Otherwise it will die.

    There is no other point we need to understand to use it.

    And not sure why you would 'hate' BCH... it's just another coin that has appreciated about 10x since creation. Bovada take it, Bookmaker take it, lots of exchanges take it.

    Tough to understand what you could possibly object to about it really.

    The only thing I objected about it, is that it was sitting in my fairly wallet unused and I couldn't figure out how to exchange it until earlier today.

    So like any other idiot on the internet now I'm happy.

    Love you optional keep up the good work I might come down there too Australian buy you a couple of hookskis!

    2 points is just the standard I do to acknowledge a reply, doesn't mean anything. But here's some more to help the cause ;-)

    There are some exchanges that credited BCD. The only problem is that the wallets don't work at the exchanges or there would be some nice arbs.

    I meant the wallets for BCD. You can't transfer BCD from one exchange to the other.

    When there's a big price difference with a coin at different exchanges, most of the time it means that that exchange doesn't support a wallet for that coin.

    You can trade that coin, but can't transfer.
