Faking money out of them seems fine ploy. Wtf you think shitty govt workers do besides draw a free check off your back.

for your info, gov't 'workers' not only take people's money but they cause untold amounts of damgage/rights violations. So it would be a pretty good improvement if the govt taxed its subjects and did absolutely nothing with the stolen money - instead of running a police state and empire. you can apply that reasoning to facebook which is of course an arm of the government. Anyway, the guy doesn't work for facebook-NSA anymore...but one wonders what his stance regarding his previous employer is...

bitcoin's block size has been increased to 4 megs

Don't know which "bitcoin" you're on about but BTC is still 1 meg.

but then when lightning network comes up

Seems tech unfit for economics (for one, pay channels is a total lol given random p2p street commerce), and implemented by compromised. Many youtube videos now present this situation.

actually LN is supposed to address that very problem. Small casual payments. And it's supposed to route payments using onion routing. Now, whether it will actually work or not, I've no clue, but your comment would suggest you didn't do much research on it. I don't know who you mean by "compromised" - or what's the point about jewtube videos? (I don't think LN is being developed by blockstrem if compromised means them)

bitcoin is supposed to be trustless so none of the factions are to be trusted. Bitcoin cash deserves little trust.

Users are free to exchange compromised for whatever is currently the most trustless. BTC compromised since years,

whereas BCH isn't compromised by monopolistic producer of ASICs bitmain, 'ex' facebook-NSA employees or the guys of the jew-york 'agreement'?

leaving BCH more trustless, but nowhere near ultimately so. Trustless is a very hard problem, till then, exchange as desired.

or you can keep both... anyway, it is a fact that the core faction has decided that bitcoin is 'digital gold' and should be used as a settlement layer. Which can be described as economic planning and bad. The other faction doesn't seem to have a good solution either since having users/peers process all transactions isn't too practical unless the 'peers' use servers in NSA datacenters...
