stay save with a hedge (BCH) against the future of BTC.

excuse me? BitCH would be a hedge on BTC risk? If BitCH succeeds in killing BTC, then:
1) There will be a general crash in crypto because it will be proved that they can be killed by such attacks; and
2) There are many better coins than BitCH to play with.
Draw your conclusions.

I also didn't manage to sell my BCH at a price that would make me feel good, so I'm justifying myself with a half-assed hedge argument similar to this. Conspirosphere.tk, I totally agree with your point 1). Not so much with point 2), because as altcoins go, technical soundness isn't really that relevant. It's more of a hype and deep pocket whale business IMHO. So BCH might be as good as the next alt, given the support team it has.

Besides, the half-assed hedge argument has partial merit IMO: if/when BCH mining profitably keeps dropping as it is, in order to keep the altcoin from reaching quick irrelevance, there must be pumping. So the "hedge" side of the argument can be turned into "retribution" for the schemers. I wager many long time hodlers, who at the moment can't be bothered to split/move/sell their BCH, will get their asses on the move if BCH price gets interesting enough. I for one will. I've already made a couple BTC on some BCH, and I've got sell orders for another part of my stash set up at 0.5 BTC/BCH.
