I admit it. I am kind of worried because all this money flowing into Bitcoin Cash.

Miners switch over to the BCH chain to make more money, BTC mempool increases and Bitcoin falls and falls ...
Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

I think this is just a bit of a FUD phase. I feel sort of safe knowing that people are panicking even though the price has only dropped from 7300 to 6400

Just woke up to see that the Euro-land ATH was broken last night, and has now become 3870 €/BTC. And it looks like it's going to be broken again very soon!

I'm reading all the posts about how BCH is dead, etc. Well, it may be so, but I've decided to hold it for a while longer and see how things play out. My way of thinking is this:

If I sell my BCH for BTC:

- My BTC holdings increase by around 12% (with current prices) = Insignificant gain.
- If BTC plummets and BCH gets a major boost = Significant loss.

If I keep my BCH:

- My BTC holdings stay the same = No gain.
- If BTC plummets and BCH gets a major boost = Significant gain and insurance against the unexpected.

So, HoDLing my BCH allows me to sleep peacefully at night, knowing I'm safe whatever happens. As much as I dislike Jihan Wu, Roger Ver, and all the rest of them, I don't want to underestimate their power. Better safe than sorry.

I guess I should have taken my own advice... Embarrassed

Just like folk were worried about Eth and about Ripple, and bought into those huge pumps only to discover that they'd been made legendary bagholders.

They all in BCH for the fork. After that all the money is pumped back in BTC.

This.
As Rosewater Foundation said, BCH is approaching a fork. It is broken at the protocol level: without a malleability fix, second and third layer solutions are very hard (near impossible) to implement soundly. Of course, the fees are lower, hur hur. With larger blocks and low usage, they must. Besides, BCH never suffered a single spam attack. But medium term? The only practical use of BCH, apart from trading, is buying Chinese mining equipment. What kind of future can such an altcoin have?

They can pump and dump all they want, I still have an optimistic view of the near future.

People are spamming the mempool with 1300 satoshi/byte tx, i.e. paying 3~5 mbtc per 225 byte standard tx, and most go to fee with only dust remaining, to lock up the tx in mempool during this BCH pump.  But BTC+BCH is actually getting lower and lower in total, meaning someone is killing that golden goose that had just kept on giving so far.

Maybe the cartel will do a flippening of ETH by BCH just for lolz.  But if some insiders can flippen BCH vs ETH in marketcap just like this, then it's actually really bearish for the entire crypto world.  Because imagine what would happen when the real professional pumpers, i.e. Wall Street banksters, come on the scene.

fees are running at around $5

Last time I paid 170k satoshis to send 0.17 to Bittrex.

Bitcoin's value at the time was around $7k, hence the fees were around $12, not $5.
