I had to buy BCH to get my S9's from Bitmain. Since I purchased and was waiting for delivery to my wallet, they then added BTC and LTC to the mix. I hurry and offloaded the BCH I purchased at $641 to Bitmain at $761 thinking I did pretty good by waiting a few extra days. Now BCH is over $1100 damnit!!! This was just a week or so ago. Shitty thinking what I could have nearly doubled my buying power in that short amount of time. Just goes to show you how unpredictable things can be.....even when it's painted on the wall.
Oh, well. The first couple of S9's are up and running and the other 2 should be here shortly. Now.....let's crack this BTClock !!!
Welcome to the world of speculative trading! It appears Bitcoin Cash is on a bit of a ride due to their May 15th bump to 32MB blocks (and other tweaks). That comes across to me as 100% headline grabbing only news... their current average blocksize is just 75kb, 1/10th that of Bitcoin. There is no way they need 32MB blocks right now... its just PC to have them. If you haven't come across is, I highly recommend looking over
http://fork.lol - tonnes of good data there comparing BTC to BCH. One note on the charted "Profitability": it presumes you could mystically sell block reward coins immediately, at the price each coin had at the moment the block was found - not after the required 100 confirms, nor after your wallet received them, and you sent them to an exchange, or the time it would take you to place an order and have that order fulfilled. Basically, to really have a useful profitability metric, you would need to be able to predict the price and market demand for each coin at least 100 blocks INTO THE FUTURE. Then you could decide what was most profitable. Keep that in mind when considering any profit-switching alternatives to Kano.
