Title: BTC Hashrate dropping, but not minutes between blocks ...

Code:
"market_price_usd": 4122.42,
  "hash_rate": 6287500572.60,

I've watched the hash rate go from 74... to 62..., however difficulty and minutes between blocks, remains consistent.
This could mean that miners are finding a balance to mine both btc and bch. Equilibrium.

Any thoughts?
