No reason to be confused, just watch the youtube video, John refers to BTC. Then remember that BTC comes from years ago, so if there is a fork BTC remains the main chain and BCH can not be perceived by the BCH noobs as the real bitcoin but only real Bitcoin (notice the uppercase B for the confused) Remember BCH split from the chain, BTC did not split from the chain. So BTC will remain for ever bitcoin.

If BCH users can not even read twitter then there is no hope for them and BCH. John clearly tweeted about BTC and note BCH was never at $1 800 and never will be. Bitcoin will be $500 000 in 2020 but remember that discounts FIAT devaluation also. Things are not just about mining hash power shifting between BCH and BCT for profitibility, that us just a short term miners option. BTC has network effect and BCH not. BCH will never have. BCH might co-exist with BTC but will never come close to BTC in the long run. BCH might reach $3 000 in 2030 when BTC pushes $1mil.

See John's tweet below including his miss spelt Bitcoin (corrective text is a bugger) and also watch his interview on youtube about bitcoin not BCH.

Bitcoub's low of $1,800+ yesterday simply could not be maintained. In the long term Bitcoin moves above $500,000 within three years. Bets?

Shame to see Bitmain mining empty blocks https://blockchain.info/charts/n-transactions-per-block

When lightning kicks in for BTC even if it is end 2018, BCH will be captured in a 8MB block. So fail will BCH just give it enough time and rope.

BCH is not a pump and dump coin, it is an inferior chain that the inventors are trying to rescue by pump, it will dump itself by year end. How many times do you want to pump a flat tyre BEFORE you replace it. CORRECT NOBODY USES WINDOWS 98 ANYMORE BUT WE STILL USE WINDOWS BUT NOT A CLONED WINDOWS. 

R and whale cronies pump, perception perception the ice getting thinner.
