So they started trading a token that isn't really being used by anyone, has next to no interest in it as it stands, and hasn't had an interesting development since that article was written?
What
is this supposed to be lol?
BCC seems to be a very isolated, uninterested project by viabtc and it's down 40% since it's peak... Why would Bitcoincash be anything that anyone cares about, really? Sure it's another means to make money (especially as miners) but I seriously doubt there are any major implications, especially since an exchange has a monopoly over the token right now.
Several exchanges have already announced they will offer Bitcoin Cash.
After August 1, the market will finally get to decide. Suddenly Bitcoin Cash price is rising and Segwitcoin (BTC) is falling, and hashpower begins to switch sides. Now the market has two options for Bitcoin. One that is cheap to transact with no huge backlog, due to bigger blocks and one limited to 1MB blocks with everyone stacked up in the mempool.
