BCH price fell 11% to $1,211... market cap of bitcoin cash is $20 billion... original bitcoin had a maximum limit of 1 MB of data per block or about 3 transactions per second.
although these limits could be raised technically, the bitcoin community never reached a consensus after years of debate.
so, instead of raising the limits, the community decided to create another blockchain (which was later known as Bitcoin Cash) with the improved limits. the older bitcoins were taken to this new and improved blockchain that had a maximum limit of 8 MBs per block.
from the hard fork on August 1, 2017, Bitcoin Cash was born, increasing the capacity limit of each block.
the purpose of the fork was to raise the number of transactions that can be processed by increasing the block size to 8 MBs against 1 MB of bitcoin.

So according to your logic BCH transaction capacity is 3*8=24 transactions per second (that's a game changer), wow...
