Bitcoin price still remains strong and has grown significantly throughout the weekend despite the hard fork.
...
What occurred with the Bitcoin/Bcash fork was not a real hardfork.
For it to have been a real hardfork, a decent amount of miners/hash would
have needed to run the ABC client and chainsplit at a certain point in the
future, and thus leave the Bitcoin chain forever to join the Bcash chain only.
In reality, what occurred was just a Github copy/paste/revision fork.
So, since it was performed as an altcoin with the same origin would, as compared
to a contentious hardfork, the damages and effects on the ecosystem was lessened,
so "Bitcoin remains strong despite the fork" because the "fork" was only an altcoin
creation with a common origin, and not an outright attack on the network where the
two chains are in an actual hash/chain race competition.
When ETH chainsplit from ETC, that was a "non-contentious" hardfork.
An altcoin (Bcash) is created when your side of the chainsplit does not have majority
of the hash from the "original chain", yet still is surviving, whether by luck or design.
