How is this any different from the federal reserve printing off money when ever a crisis arises? In seeking to preserve the core values of BTC this fork is doing the opposite by shattering the virtue of a capped supply and doubling it over night.
The key difference is that when the Federal Reserve prints dollars, existing holders don't automatically receive extra dollars. All else equal, such a maneuver reduces the purchasing power of each dollar, and therefore, the stored wealth of each holder of dollars. For the Bitcoin hardfork, while both BCH and BTC will have less value than the bitcoins we have today, every bitcoin holder will automatically have the same amount of BCH and of BTC after the fork and so will maintain their purchasing power. Why should BTC lose value if a new currency gives out free coins in 1:1 ratio of the BTC you have? It can even make BTC more valuable as many people will try to sell their free BCH coins for BTC so the demand of BTC will grow what will result in a raise of the price There were other Alt-Coins release with free airdrops and i don't think that any of them affected the value of BTC in anyway

Something that doesn't yet even exist (!), is already 'worth' several hundreds of bucks
Zcash was similarly valued shortly before it launched.

I think 1 second after the btc holders are credited the bit coin cash a lot will look to sell bitcoin none will look to buy bit coin if you going to buy bitcoin you do,it,before 1220 utc time,and initial drop is,a,given right after the fork but how far is any,ones guess then again on yo bit it appears,bit coin didn't drop after the bitmcash distribution if in fact bit cash has been distributed on yo,bit

With this assumption I aim to compare current and near-future prices. Every bitcoin today is effectively 1 BTC and 1 BCH stuck together. The current bitcoin price is the value the market ascribes to this package. I do not value 1 BTC more highly than 1 BTC and 1 BCH and I certainly do not expect the market to do so. The same logic applies to airdrops. Now, it may well be that 1 BTC next week will fetch more USD in the market than a bitcoin today, but this just typical market price volatility, volatility to which this noise and excitement will have contributed.

safest plan right now is to transfer btc to different reliable altcoins. Tether, monero, litecoin, dash are all good options
but then you wont be credited Bitcoin Cash.

After the fork is confirmed to have happened, send your BTC to a different address, for security. Then import the private keys that had bitcoin into a BCC compatible wallet.

As the difficulty will be changed to 1/6 of the current Bitcoin difficulty, I think that many miners with old asic will be able to mine this again.
"REQ-7 Difficulty adjustement in case of hashrate drop
In case the MTP of the tip of the chain is 12h or more after the MTP 6 block before the tip, the proof of work target is increased by a quarter, or 25%, which corresponds to a difficulty reduction of 20% .
RATIONALE: The hashrate supporting the chain is dependent on market price and hard to predict. In order to make sure the chain remains viable no matter what difficulty needs to adjust down in case of abrupt hashrate drop."
Any idea where I can mine this coin right away? Any pools?

BCC Pool @ https://pool.viabtc.com
Pool HashRate = 17 PH
Network HashRate = 6448 PH
Active Workers = 1483
Blocks Mined = 1
Coin Mined(BCC) = 13
Coin Price(USD) = 296.56"Coin Mined(BCC) = 13" Why 13 ? Is there a 0.5BCC transaction included on top of the 12.5 coin reward ?

isn't he missing, or rather pissing all over, one of the other more important points - 1 cpu = 1 vote.
You are wrong. You should go back and look again at the bitcoin.pdf: https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdfNowhere you will find 1 CPU = 1 VOTE. You will find instead 7 times: "CPU power" Of the linked whitepaper, section 4 paragraph 3 begins: The proof-of-work also solves the problem of determining representation in majority decision making. If the majority were based on one-IP-address-one-vote, it could be subverted by anyone able to allocate many IPs. Proof-of-work is essentially one-CPU-one-vote. The majority decision is represented by the longest chain, which has the greatest proof-of-work effort invested in it. If a majority of CPU power is controlled by honest nodes, the honest chain will grow the fastest and outpace any competing chains.
On introducing the concept, Satoshi did offer the simplified explanation of proof-of-work: "essentially one-CPU-one-vote". He was pleased to observe that this method, unlike others he could conceive, required no special authority. With this, Satoshi was able to replace thoughts like "If a privileged timeserver is honest" or "If the authority responsible for assigning IP addresses is honest" with "If a majority of the global hashrate is honest". Both branches will continue to use proof-of-work in the way Satoshi described. There is no deviation on the part of the Bitcoin Cash branch.
