BCash is nothing compared to the next coup attempt waiting us in November.
IMO that attempt is way more legitimate than BCH hardfork. Remember segwit2x got support from most (90%+) miners.

The only good thing about BCH is that it has the support of one large SHA256 miner and a few famous Bitcoin personalities.  Other than that, it is a pretty dumb alt.  I much prefer to add transaction capacity by the way that LTC does, by having more/faster blocks.  10 minute blocks with 4x the capacity isn't as good as 2.5 minute blocks.  I do think that LTC is over-valued at the moment, though.  Historically it hangs around 0.01 BTC.  At 0.014 BTC, it is getting expensive in my opinion.  However, with Segwit enabled on LTC for a long time, and testing with Lightning Network, it is possible that it will be possible to do atomic swaps (trades without an exchange) of LTC for BTC.  This will be kind of a holy grail for crypto, the ability to swap from one chain to another without having to trust an exchange.

BarterDEX can already do atomic swaps between chains. However you need to have the whole blockchain synced for each coin you want to trade. Screw lightening network.
