Hello BCH-ers. I'm a big fan of BTC but do follow this page to see what I may be missing out on. I recently made my first purchase of BCH via a major exchange because I wanted to see how fast a transaction would take. I also moved some BTC at the same time. And I have to tell you that I was not impressed, and actually very surprised as to how much of a time difference there is, especially since BCH is designed for more transactions per second. Let's just say that the BTC was transferred in about 7 minutes and when I stopped waiting, the BCH still had not transferred after 35 minutes. Is this normal, or is there an issue with the wallets?
