The Bitcoin Cash fork has absolutely nothing to do with Bitcoin , but these stupid speculators does not understand that, so they run for the hills at the slightest indication of possible instability.
The fork and the war is applicable to Bitcoin Cash not Bitcoin BTC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bitcoin gets thrown into it whether we like it or not, because both BTC and BCH compete for hashrate, and Bitmain doesn't shy away from using BTC hashrate to protect their BCHABC chain against Craig the scammer.
I read that some people believe that when hashrate from BTC moves to BCH, especially so close to the difficulty adjustment, that a lower difficulty results in more coin inflation and thus miners dumping their coins.
What they forget is that there is over 10EH of hashrate not doing anything at the moment, and this hashrate will enter BTC as Bitmain's pools transfer a chunk of their hashrate to BCH. There are no winners here, crypto as a whole is the loser.
