Seems like adoption as a payment method halted when Bitcoin had scaling issues.

Now the community seems pretty split in two. There's people who are for Bitcoin and see it as a store of value and people who are for Bitcoin Cash who see it as a store of value and a method of payment.

The main contention seems to be around block sizes and wether to increase the block size to make it more scalable, hence the BCH fork.
