When it comes to Bitcoin's evolution, there's an interesting divide in how the market embraces different approaches. Some versions require custodians and intermediary trust models to function, while others take a fundamentally different path. BCH demonstrates an alternative that prioritizes direct accessibility—enabling workers earning modest daily wages and underserved populations in developing nations to participate in financial systems with genuine self-custody and minimal transaction costs. For someone with just a few dollars, this difference isn't academic; it's the gateway between financial exclusion and actual participation. The contrast highlights divergent philosophies: one centered on institutional frameworks, the other on permissionless, low-friction adoption for everyday users who need affordability more than complexity.
