BITCOIN CASH is probably DYING

[leonair]

Bitcoin Cash seems to be in a death spiral.  It doesn't have enough hashrate, well sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.  The miners are gaming the Emergency Difficulty Adjustment (EDA) and you sometimes you don't get a block in hours and hours.  Miners are jumping back and forth between chains to trigger the EDA and game the system for fast blocks and easy money.  Sometimes you have ~50 blocks in one hour.  

This is creating a scenario of high inflation where you have a a lot more coins that are mined and dumped.  Coins that there is a lack of demand for.  So the price is dropping.  50 blocks in an hour with their EDA isn't what Satoshi designed for a coin that touts itself as being faithful to Satoshi's original design.  

Add to that Bitcoin Cash supporters are supporting Segwit2X for no other reason than their hatred of Bitcoin Core.  The crazy thing is, this might effectively kill off Bitcoin Cash.  First the downward price trend of Bitcoin Cash might also not just be the crazy block times and inflation above but more BCH supporters will be selling at least some BCH to get BTC so they get both Segwit1X and Segwit2X at the fork.   This trend probably will continue.

Additionally, if there is a fork Segwit1X and Segwit2X will be competing for Hash Rate and I am not sure where that leaves BCH which already struggles with hashrate at times especially if the price downward trend continues.  

Bitmain seems to be doing what it can to save it's baby, accepting only BCH for its miners and I now see BCH advertisements in places like Blockchain.info.  It feels like BCH is on life support.

People are too smart nowadays and that is a good sign for all of us, we can't now be easily fooled by fake and copy cat identities even though there is some that still gullible in some other thins. Bitcoin Cash is not the original Bitcoin though and imitating the original one is a suicide for me because you just take the shortcut and replicate the whole essence of it with no originality except the name compare to the other coins that offers different platforms in some other way. Some people still support this because they still believe that they will earn from it if its succeed.

Many holders never realized that BCH was a flash in the pan and all for the money so they still held on to it hoping it would overtake BTC, especially when it skyrocketed to over $800. Many now leak their wounds for still keeping that shitty coin.EDA was a wasted idea. It was obvious from day one that there was a orob with BCH hashing. I also see the same thing happening to the new coin that will be birthed from the November fork.

Yeah like I don't know why there are still some that holds their coins as this is a no good coin and this is not worth it to invest and hold.
Good thing as I got mine I easily dumped it as this imitation coin will be just an accessory in my wallet. Then the money I got was used to buy more promising coins.

when a coin is created by the MINERs you can be sure that these miners will throw hashrate at it as they like and will keep it alive. and it is not dying at all. this altcoin has no usage, even the blocks are completely empty to a point that it looks deserted, but as i said the miners and also some big pockets are behind it and they are keeping it alive.
additionally, it is another altcoin with the name "bitcoin" in it and it is being traded. who doesn't like that?! a good pump and dump coin.
on top of it, with the SegWit2x drama, they are taking full advantage and i even expect a big pump out of it pretty soon.

The BCH holder are surely preparing for the upcoming bitcoingold and this could split and make the bitcoin cash go down and we can already see that the volume of it goes down slowly and this maybe affected of the upcoming fork but let see how Bitcoin Cash supporters reacts unto this since we doesn't really know how this support goes.

Because no one doesn't want to get the free bucks just hold your bitcoin in the wallet or hold em all in the exchange site that gives your bitcoin gold in the future. many people are not wanna missing this chance.

The same scenario will be happen when bitcoin cash coming out and I'm sure that many people are preparing to have some balance to get the opportunity to received some bitcoin gold to their wallets and I don't want to miss the chance also since this is once and there's no second splitted airdrop will be happen again with bitcoin gold.

Who doesn't want it? People love's free  thats why you could see so many people following for the late Bitcoin Cash.

And many people will surely do the hold and it can affect the main bitcoin's to and expect that the price of it would go soar since many people would love to claim the Bitcoin Gold and I don't want to miss this chance really since for seeing the price of Bitcoin Cash landed on the exchange maybe Bitcoin Gold will be valuable also.

True. The same scenario will played out with Bitcoing Gold. There was a big hype when the incoming Bitcoin Cash was release. A lot of FUD, saying that it is the original "Bitcoin".  So we don't want to miss it, and its a free coin. However, once we get this free coins, it will be dump to the market immediately and most of us will go back to Bitcoin once again. Its really a chance for all of us to get it for free and everybody loves free coins. But it will surely be forgotten like Bitcoin Cash because we favor Bitcoin instead.

The main reason the price is dropping is because Bitstamp and Xapo finally released the bitcoincash they owed their members from the August 1st fork.

Unsurprisingly people are selling, and the combination of supply suddenly available and people dumping them forces the price down.

Not like I am surprised. What else would you have expected ? And it still balls down to the same thing, no one wants to hold a coin that they do not believe in and obviously the whole community don’t. Maybe we should just dump the whole coin and leave everything in the hands of Jihan and Roger.

The pumps will not help and at the end we will just keep having the same thing happening all over again. At least it gave me some huge profit and I will give them a credit for that.

[futuret]

From the first appearance there were so many rejection, some people blamed BCH for the decreasing of bitcoin price and you can see how people reacted after BCH is out, people directly sold their coin for bitcoin, so actually from the first BCH already lack of interest

yeah the main reason is the given as at the start it has suffered a lot from a lot of the rejections. The size of the block is the other issue it has no concern with this. If you want to increase your income from the bitcoin then you will have to keep your eyes open anything can happen anytime. The price keeps on changing and the market will keep on using it.

[mkhadazz]

I don't think like that, and BCH not dying yet. BCH still profitable as a shortterm investment. Grab opportunities that exist inside, better than sitting confused.

[luffy7]

Its dead from the start. People are fooled by the fake mcap it got from Bitcoin

[LodisMcguire]

There will be another fork,and BCH will be fall soon,people don't have interest in it anymore
Bitcoin will still going strong,even if there is another alt created from bitcoin,people will dump it right away

And there's still the Coinbase and the Bitcoin Investment Trust (GBTC) BCH sell-offs to come.

[European Central Bank]

whether the s2x fork happens or not is gonna decide bch's fate.

i'm far from convinced it will happen in which case alts will start heading on back up, especially this one.

we're not going to know until much closer to the time. until then it's all hands on deck, or rather jumping off it.

I don't think that initially was/is the case. I think the majority of people who actively check this forum and engage with the community dumped their bitcoin cash back in august. But think about all those coins that are held in cold storage. A lot of owners don't want to risk their coins just for increasing them by 10%. So I don't think a lot of people have dumped their bitcoin cash yet. But if they did, bitcoin cash would've been completely irrelevant by now.

Yes and that fork will also fail in the long run like Bitcoin cash. There are 2 upcoming forks I think. One is the unprofessional guys doing a fork called bitgold. I don't see any future in that, it's just a waste of time to follow that. It'll be dumped faster than Bitcoin cash.
I still don't know what would happen to s2x fork.

[olubams]

The way I see it, of something drastic is not done to revive the price of BCH, anyone who hasn't been able to claim his BCH or who held on to it would probably might no longer need it again because it will become so worthless and not worth the stress of claiming. With the upcoming fork, I see a massive movement to the new coin but the same fate awaits its too because BCH has created a fork which won't stop anytime soon.

[faaty]

bitcoin cash born as a dead coin. its price will decline more than before. now we are having bitcoin gold which is another fork copy of bitcoin cash, there is no reason to get these fake coins. it will jst another story to tell to our kids in the future.
