Will it super crash? will it survive? who knows. The way I see it, Bitcoin is a token to incentivize people to share their computational power to the network, even if they don't have it they should get it. Like a maniac arsonist ritual.
The computational power is the core, so miners (computational miners, not necessarily the people who own them) are the most important thing. Because they are the ones keeping the service alive, the rest of us are beneficiaries of the services.
Developers are important but just as important as everyone else. Not more important, just different.

Bitcoin Cash has a lot of Blind spots but let's see the value proposition in it.

I was fortunate enough to be contrarian and buy BCC when it opened on Bittrex. I figured it was the place to be, since of the exchanges supporting it at the moment it had high liquidity and unlike Kraken is not used to freezing your accounts at the first sign of problems.

When BCC was announced my questions were many. Before considering if buying I was asking myself.

  • Has any value at all?
  • How low can it fall?
  • How many are actually there?

Value: Even most shit coins are still in existence today. The original idea and project have value, the code has changed so much since then. I need not mention just how disruptive an idea it is. It might not be perfect but is pretty good.

Crash: If it falls to cents I could buy 100% of all the coins. So it was unlikely.
Maybe a dollar? So a person with 16 million dollars could buy theoretically all of them. Who? Western Union and other remittance companies, some Banks and some governments would be more than happy. So 1 dollar was unlikely.
Even 10 dollars was optimistic. Since most early miners and adopters had enough money to get most of the coins for that price. $50 was an extremely good price, supposing the coin was extremely well distributed. But it was not.

At the moment BCC/BCH should have 16.5 million coins premined, yet there are millions trapped in Coinbase and cold storage. There are millions already lost by people back in the early days. There's the genesis block that has not moved. These early miners and early adopters who don't outside of chain scalability.
So by Fermian calculations, there should be around 5 million BCC going around in exchanges, maybe less. Which made it a bargain.

When it opened people were dumping it at 50$ and in less than 15 minutes it was at $100.

At the time I was watching the Crypto World Network with Jimmy Song and Tone Vays talking about the dump. The first block took half a day to appear. So I knew arbitrage was gonna be impossible and I was right, after the 5th block and the announcements of the exchanges I took the risk of buying. Then as soon as it appeared I bought. Had the opportunity of seeing 20X returns in a single day.

Now I see all the bad press on Bitcoin Cash, so I know is undervalued because sentiments are low. Becuase: most of it is already gone.

At the moment I've been able to buy 1% of them. Every time it has dipped below $200 I buy a lot.

If things keep on going like this and BTC and the other altcoins keep growing I can use other services outside exchanges to get more and more. Like shapeshift and changelly.
I'm fairly sure Banks and Billionaires would be interested in finding a way to use these coins I have now, or I could distribute them to people all over the world to give them a way to transact cheaply. So I can profit or expand well being.
I always buy the dips, doesn't matter if I have to wait or I loose the bear market. It has served me well.
