I did not think about BCH as an alternative to BTC. I just thought it could bring wealth, but it seems that many people think BCH is the real BTC. I do not understand why? Is it because of its technical value better than BTC?
BCH technology is indeed better than BTC, and later SBTC technology is more powerful, is simply BCH+ intelligent contract + lightning network. But BTC is famous and has a long history. The position of the leading role is not so easy to replace.
Old BTC has still very strong price momentum / upside trend and fresh money still buys BTC (crypto) at first place. It is the hartest task of trading to predict the point when this tops and rolls over into a side phase or a down trend even.
Once this comes it will be most interesting what will happen - will investors try to really use BTC (high fees and no extra capacity might prove this very shitty) ? Will they exit crypto ? Or will they move into BCH that should have lots of merchants in place for real usage?
Time will tell....
Most "investors" aka speculators are interested in more FIAT, not crypto.
