Why bother with BCH? Go for BTC or Eth.
Maybe he has a little bit of hope when he thinks about Bitcoin Cash, the coins is still getting high volume traded into it so there could be a little room for growth.
Recently, I have been stumbling into some bad news related to bitcoin cash and personally, I have zero trust on this coin now. It is much better to go for Ethereum because it has at least a future and we all know it will survive for long.
Now come to the best option, it is pretty obvious bitcoin is the superstar in the world of digital currencies. It not only has future but gives huge profits also.
