The market doesn't always behave rationally but its favored bitcoin over bcash since bcash was born, the entirety of its existence.

Another thing you forget is that nobody trusts a coin captained by a con artist (Ver).

Ver had plenty of opportunities to stop mooching off the good name of bitcoin, but he never did. He's a shameless opportunist, and everyone who ever exchanged bitcoin for bcash at his suggestion has suffered financially as a result.

I agree that tx fees are out of hand for BTC at the moment. Solutions are on the way. Solutions more elegant than simply increasing the length of tape inside your audio cassette.
