No man there is no way that bitcoin cash can be the new bitcoin. The real btc has been around since 2009, and bitcoin cash is the result of a fork of that coin, so that tells you everything you must know about it.
Bitcoin cash is just an useless coin, there is no way it can be #1 crypto.
Just think about it, the same happened with ethereum and ethereum classic. At the first, etc was hyped and then it came back to $14, and it is standing on that price for more than two months.
If you're comparing ETH/ETC to BTC/BCH, then you should be saying that BTC is ETC and BCH is ETH. Ethereum "Classic" is the original blockchain. ETH is what forked off from it.
BTC is the original blockchain. BCH is what forked off from it.
