It's game theory economics. If price of BCH gets high enough from the speculators. Most of that speculation comes from the adoption of BCH. Then the miners would go to the more profitable coin. Some miners will move over before in anticipation if they think BCH is going to increase in value over BTC. It's the same algo both BTC and BCH so it's extremely easy to switch over and mine the more profitable coin while the other gets abandon, which can lead to a vicious cycle downward. Bitcoin Core's difficulty takes 2 weeks to adjust. So its possible that the hashing power could leave in droves to BCH if the price climbed high enough and fast enough. The blocksize further increases the problem if that happens b/c transactions will not clear. We already saw this a few times already back in Nov. last year. If this happens I just hope it goes fast so the rest of the market will not be permanently affected. I really don't so much care about which Bitcoin wins but wanna see Crypto go mainstream.
