BCH is increasing the block size for the different platforms that are going to be built on top of it.
As you noted, the transactional volume that happens in the Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash networks is way below their capacity which makes me think of what can be the main reason for the block increase in Bitcoin Cash.
I know of YOURS, Bitcoin Cash’s own Social Media Platform build on its network. Something BIG must be cooking for BCH to jump onto an almost 14 times the size of its original block size.
Nice reply 😊
