the amazing thing about open source software is that you can run whatever version you want (well in the case of bcash you can't really run your own node, but putting that fact aside).
Some people wanted to trade security and decentralization for scalability. Others wanted to sacrifice throughput for cheap and easy validation.
I've studied both systems. I like the one with the small blocks. You should use the one with big blocks if you like. You can make all the payments you want. Of course, the value of your wealth stored in the network is going to zero... but at least you can buy coffee with it.
I will continue to use bitcoin, with it's small blocks, 1.5 trillion dollar market cap, and rapidly approaching global adoption.
It's amazing that we both get to choose which network we use. Good luck with your bcash, I'm sticking with bitcoin.
