A few thoughts on BTC/Bitcoin and BCH/BitcoinCash (german version below)
We hear it often. Since the early days of Bitcoin, some people are sure, that this must be a bubble.
At the height of their assumed bubble they have sold! At 25 dollars per BTC they sold, at 100 they sold, and so on. And why not? It was their decision and is good for the market.
Some early sellers turned strange, they turned into Bitcoin-Haters. They hate the price going up. They hate positive news about Bitcoin. They look for strategies to make Bitcoin look bad. They hate Bitcoin, because they have sold theirs much too early.
But how is this impossible situation for the supposed smartest investors even possible? To them, it is not their fault to have sold Bitcoin much to early. It has to be Bitcoins fault.
Others would buy the dips. Bitcoin-Haters look for forks. They bring lot of FUD about Bitcoin into the market. What's bad for Bitcoin is bad for the whole crypto-world. Isn't it? Except a few Bitcoin-haters.
I would avoid BCH, bitcoinCash. It is very bad style to plagiarise name and logo of the Original Open Source Bitcoin. The big need for bCash was created, because Bitmain™ only took BCH as payment for their mining-servers. This way Bitcoin-Miners could get rid of their forked BCH. Now Bitmain™ also accepts US-Dollars. Nobody needs BCH now? You need some? If yes, you must be a speculator. Why not. But think twice. Who owns most of BCH and how could this influence the market some day?
I prefer the Original, the Bitcoin, against it's plagiarism from the rather small bCash-team, because of the better distribution of wealth with Bitcoin.
Lot of BCH, BitcoinCash, is in the hands of few people.
1687 addresses hold 50.09% of all BCH.
143 addresses own 27.48% of all BCH.
Bitcoin Cash, BCash, BCH addresses richer than:
1 USD 6,712,487
100 USD 1,643,904
1,000 USD 545,549
10,000 USD 139,200
100,000 USD 19,181
1,000,000 USD 2,291
10,000,000 USD 187
One thing is for sure: The big BCH speculators have big interest in smearing and slandering the original Bitcoin. All this FUD and slander is very bad for the whole crypto-scene and especially for newcomers, for new investors.

I wish you success and prosperity!

Disclosure: I have bought one BTC recently for 6130 Dollars. I am long Bitcoin, Stellar Lumen, IOTA and some others. I will buy more STEEM (power). And I do not like greedy plagiarists who slander the Open Source Bitcoin and Bitcoin-developers.
