The long term block size chart shows that block sizes have averaged well below 100 KB throughout December 2018. Therefore, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) could have a block size of 1 MB and function perfectly. Blocks in excess of 100 KB are rare, and there are no blocks today anywhere near 1 MB. Block sizes of less than 10 KB are common, and there is an occasional block less than 1 KB. The block explorer shows how Bitcoin Cash (BCH) cannot even reach 1 MB block sizes, let alone 32 MB. But Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has a very low rate of adoption, and block sizes currently average less than 100 KB, making the block size increase above Bitcoin’s (BTC) 1 MB totally pointless, defeating the purpose of Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Initially, when Bitcoin Cash was created, it had a block size limit of 8 MB, and this was later increased to 32 MB. The Bitcoin Cash community thought that increasing Bitcoin’s block size limit was the best method to increase scalability. At the time the Bitcoin network was undergoing congestion due to increased transaction frequency and transaction fees began to exceed $1, going as high as $3 in June 2017. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) forked from the Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain in August 2017, amid a heated block size debate.
