I would take a friendly fork over all the trash ICOs any day and a hostile fork like BCH
Bitcoin cash would have had a much more friendly welcome to the cryptospace if they chose to use a different PoW algorithm and possibly a higher value too
Imagine bitcoin cash using say the equihash PoW at the current value it would be one of the most profitable coins to mine and could of taken a huge chunk of the ether mining power especially with it going PoS
which tells us everything about the motivations of bcash's creators. as it's always been, it's yet another bitcoin power grab albeit from a different and more destructive angle.
