Bitcoin isn't going anywhere, BCH will be more profitable for the miners so maybe will get a push because of this but I doubt it will hit anything above $1k.
What makes you so sure? Many of the comments here about BCH read like religious hate propaganda. How do you know that the BTC religion is any better than BCH? Do you have facts or just beliefs?
Think about it. The consensus rules underlying a cryptocurrency are what make it worth "believing" in. The BCH developers ripped out some of Bitcoin's consensus rules (re: block size) and also won't be implementing a widely supported soft fork consensus change (Segwit). So these are two aspects where it makes sense for there to be significant disagreement. The community has been arguing for years over these rules, so it's understandable that supporters of each side have dug their heels in, so to speak.
There are technical arguments to be made for small blocks vs. big blocks, and Segwit/LN vs. increasing block size. But at this point, I think most of us have heard it all.
