bathrobehero,
Legendary, could you please explain what this means for the average user like me
can I still send BCH to an exchange to sell for BTC or is it over already? ty
You will be able to sell once the network starts moving.
As the difficulty will decrease in the adjucted blocks, eventually blocks will be found at the same rate as Bitcoin (even if not many people would mine it) so exchanges will accept deposits and withdrawals.
