Please anyone thats reading this..
THIS IS NOT AN ALTCOIN.

The definition of an ALTCOIN is: Any crypto currency that is not BTC

So Bitcoin Cash (BCC) is an ALTCOIN like maybe ~ 1000 other ALTCOINS including more than 10 other coins based directly on BTC.

Or is Bitconnect, First Bitcoin, BitcoinDark, ... also no ALTCOIN for you? Wink

If i would now just fork BTC too like Bitcoin Cash did and name it "The one and only real Bitcoin" would that be an ALTCOIN for you or not?

I wonder what it will call its currency if in the future the hash power of bitcoin cash exceeds that of bitcoin core. Bitcoin gold? Bitcoin segwit? Segwit coin ?. In any case bitcoin cash is the most faithful to the original idea of bitcoin, so technically segwit would become an altcoin Cheesy
