I'm curious, does even the hardcore proponents of BCH are still holding this coin and believe something will come out of it after all this mess?
Yep.
The people using digital cash daily in 10 years will know and care about the 2017 fork and 2018 hash war as much as iPhone users know and care about what Jobs and Woz were arguing about in 1982 , most will learn the bitcoin history from a future CSW Netflix bio mini series, i kid you not.
