I paid 10 satoshis/byte ( .13cents) for a largish transaction on the competing chain which shall remain nameless. (It was in the next block)
Fees are going to be cheap when no one is using it and when no one even feels inclined to spend any time and resources to spam attack it. This is fun: http://txhighway.comthat is fun...BCH is like an 8 lane US 50...much spacious, so solitude, wow

Price seems to be slowly recovering from low 15000’s to 15600 as I type this. Not sure if anybody cares whilst they’re dick measuring in here.
Is the bottom in?

It is that fear that keeps me from shifting more of my BTC holdings to BCH.
Same fear that Ver, Wu, and Wright all have. Such conviction! And yet everyone should buy the shitcoin! ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

And yet everyone should buy the shitcoin! ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Presently I hold 3 BCH per BTC. It is foolish to put all of your eggs in one basket. If you think the vision of "digital gold" will win then maybe you should hold 2 BTC per BCH. Don't let your ideology prevent you from making wise investment decisions. Selling all your BTC or all your BCH is not smart.

How does it feel to know that the whole Bcash one trick pony can loose most of its market cap the second Core feels that the benefit of raising the blocksize to 2mb outweighs the risk? That's their worst case scenario, and by the time 2mb is spammed to hell and people start bitchin' again LN should be right around the corner.
It is that fear that keeps me from shifting more of my BTC holdings to BCH. I believe that if BTC cannot raise the block size limit in the medium-term (3 - 12 months) then BCH will fully take its place as the dominant crypto. However, if BTC is able to raise the block size limit, I could see BCH dying. But I think the political machine that BS/Core built to prevent the block size limit from being lifted will come back to bite them. Why won't all the same arguments against a block size limit be used again? If BTC tries to increase the limit, will this result in yet another fork and another form of Bitcoin (e.g., will this next fork have replay protection or not)? Will that really work? Or will people just decide that BCH is the solution for lower fees and more reliable confirmation times? I highlighted the part that gives away your true intentions. You cannot fear that if you really want BTC to change the world for the better. You fear that because you have alterior motives.

I guess you know me better than I know myself.

Here's why you're wrong: Yes I believe Bitcoin is digital gold. That's why I buy and hold it. Rarely spend it. Holding is what gives it value, as well as a store of value. Even if I thought that BCash was good for spending (which I don't), I don't have to hold it. I can just buy and spend it whenever I want, on the fly, as needed. But why even do that when fiat will do the same thing. Gresham's Law at work, dude.

Any vets out there caring to calm my nerves with some words of wisdom?
The market is waking up the fact that BTC is digital gold designed to be held and not spent -- that high fees and transaction friction are a feature and not a bug. The market may reprice BTC as a result. My advice as a veteran since $49 is to take some profit if you're well into the green to soothe your nerves, and to make sure you hold at least 1 BCH for every 1 BTC you hold. We are currently in a price battle, and an ongoing attack on bitcoin. You are selectively and seemingly disingenuously attempting to assess your own wishful parts of an attack state as if it were a permanent status. You are also hoping that bcash is going to get some kind of inroads into bitcoin's network.. but it still remains a long shot, even if you are attempting to suggest that Bcash is undervalued as compared to bitcoin, and that is why you are advising 50/50 at these current prices... good luck with your pump and dump... . NOT

That I hedge my portfolio to account for the risks as I perceive them? It sounds like you think it is wiser to dump all of one's BCH and hold only BTC. Is that true?

Have you had the opportunity to read about the "Thiers' Law"? https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3w2vqo/thiers_law_the_reverse_of_greshams_law_rolnick/Edit: Either way, does not the law say that you mention that bad money expels good money? I do not understand your logic.
