Segwit was implemented and lightning is being tested as we speak. If everyone used Segwit and certain miners weren’t playing games spamming the network to promote BCH there’d be no problem. There is solid development going on to improve Bitcoin. All the naysayers who don’t understand the technology and it’s true long term scaling limits are welcome to go to Bitcoin Cash. But BCH won’t scale in the long term to be usable as a currency for the 5 billion unbanked without cutting and pasting the enhancements that Bitcoin is building right now.
Much of BCH's value has been in removing Core's 'improvements'
Preventing Segwit preserves a full chain of signatures on chain.
Removing RBF (replace by fee) has preserved practical 0 confirmation times of a few seconds for small purchases.
Segwit is not implemented on Core's main client.
Lightning has been 18 months away since 2015.
(It is still 18 months away)
Lightning will not work with the current block size that Blockstream is so fiercely protective of.
Please admit that if a credit card company wanted to maximally destroy the threat of Bitcoin, the last few years would serve as a pretty good blueprint...
