Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
I'm surprised BCH is still holding up so well. Will be interesting to see what happens after all of this drama is over and when it isn't being pumped to stay relevant

It's the bastard son of Bitcoin. The Jon Snow of cryptocurrencies. The one that came back from death.
... But the winter is coming.
Strictly speaking, bitcoin with segwit is the bastard child because segwit introduces changes to the code that dramatically alter the way it works. Bitcoin cash is more like your purebred, a continuation of the line with minor changes to improve performance. That's not to say that a good cross-breed won't outperform a thoroughbred however. That remains to be seen
Your "purebreed" has gone full retard and is spitting blocks at 4x times it should:

It looks to me more like a Litecoin fork than Bitcoin one
Irrelevant to what I was saying, but that is probably just due to the recent difficulty drop and the fact that it's currently 125% more profitable to mine BCH. I'm sure a few miners have switched to maximise the returns on their hardware
