Bitcoin Legacy has some problems:
Bitcoin Legacy - Chain Death Spiral. If you want to read more about this potential problem from an expert visit - https://bitcoinandtheblockchain.blogspot.com/2017/08/chain-death-spiral-fatal-bitcoin.html
Bitcoin Legacy - Severe network congestion. There are about 58MB in the pool right now for Bitcoin Legacy vs Bitcoin Cash which is .1MB.
Bitcoin Legacy - Civil War with BCH and other contentious groups. There may be another fork coming in January. We shall see.
