Flame throwers off, please, this is a question:

Lower fees
Faster transactions
The media (sometimes) calls it a 'split', not a fork, which is sad but almost LOL funny?

Free money for the rich and nothing for the poor = Sounds just like the real world.

Actually no. Even though I am a very big fan of bitcoin cash but then it didn't reach quite the expectation I had. But then it did overcome most people's expectations which was merely of some 10-100$ ,buzz off people it proved you damn wrong. But heck it benefited the miners and that was quite a pleasant surprise,and maybe in the future bitcoin cash will become better, maybe.

I really don’t know what this bitcoin and bitcoin cash is all about, based on what I have been reading I have learnt that its still the same with the original bitcoin which I know, just that the new one promises or posseses faster transaction speed

Some people see it as Free Money, how many forks can we have will it turn out to be like 10,000 crapcoins = endless forks?

The fork was too sudden. Plenty of people had not time to understand what was going on, to get their coins out of exchanges, etc. Plenty of people today hold BCH without knowing it.

BCH could have had real momentum without that, but considering how it happened, it's just a SHA-256 altcoin with some powerful backers.
Yes the people still not understand what exactly is BCH, but many people are invested just in seeing the price of the coin. And after sudden fall it gains good amount of increment, so people are showing interest on this coin. But I think again it falls like hell. Use this coin for only short time trading.

My answer is no. Transaction speed and fee is not a good measure of comparison, Bitcoin is way ahead in transaction volume against BCH

Bitcoin is way ahead in transaction volume against bch. Transaction speed and fee is not a good measure of comparison since they do not have the same tx volumes. And bch price growing rapidly isn't either. For all we know, it is just being pumped by a whale.

yups ,, that's right. this is just a game. ,, lure investors to come and buy, then after the whale feels a lot of advantages, then BOOM, BCH will fall free and may die. For me BCH is not worth to be compared with BTC which is obviously credibility.

Lower fees
all the altcoins that i have seen so far have lower and much lower fees than bitcoin cash.

Faster transactions
blocks are being mined at the same speed with bitcoin! 2016 blocks in nearly 2 weeks IIRC. and they both suffer the same flaws that enables a spam attack when they gain enough adoption and people start making more transactions.

what does this have to do with your question?

no. because the transactions aren't faster and the 8 MB blocks can be filled so much easier than you may think and we will be right where we started 6 months ago but the difference will be blockchain is 8 times bigger now (currently about 140 GB).

Well, do I need to answer and argue more against your claim? Here is already the detailed breakdown of all your arguments and they're answered point by point.

The sad thing here is that I think there is no off switch to the flame thrower.  Grin

Better than bitcoin. One has to ask what does one need to be better than BTC and every other coin out there wants to be better than bitcoin, and some of them are better than bitcoin in terms of technology.
but what does make a coin looks better, price? technology? community? bitcoin with just 2 functions [send, receive] is still the most expensive coin out there. Original does not have to be the best, and anything that doesn't evolve will eventually be left out. With the creation of bitcoin cash and the support behind it with the current price, makes people like me sometimes wonder, what are we doing? It is becoming more of game of greed with pumpers and dumpers.

I think bcc is not yet up to Bitcoin level. It's still too far to get there. Altcoin provides life for the BTC where one's mindset about BTC still has good grades among ALTcoin.

With two factors: low fee and fast transaction time, Bcash has overcome Bitcoin's weaknesses. So, I think future BCash will grow stronger than Bitcoin at present. Bitcoin at the moment is the effort and effort of millions of people around the world to contribute to the development of the world's largest virtual currency today.

At first, or even after some time, bitcoin also had low fees and fast transactions, but as the community started growing and we got a lot more consumers for bitcoin, its fees and transactions have reached this stage where we say the fees are high and transactions are slow. Bitcoin Cash is new as well, so it is having the same qualities like bitcoin, but the challenge for bitcoin cash would be to gather the amount of people bitcoin has got in the time it has been around, and i don't think it can reach there very soon, and by the time it reaches there, bitcoin would go far away from it.

In my opinion , bitcoin cash is just a clone , he wont has same price with the first crypto currency invented . Also I think is just a period time when he reaches this ammount of 900$ and he will be back to 300$ , but you can buy 2-3 bcc and keep them , you could get some profit

Your country may be your worst enemy
NO!
Definitely.
I've received some, I sold them for more than what they were worth at first, and now it's gonna crash sometimes. Just look at Ethereum Classic. It still has a few supporters, but it's clear it doesn't have a future.

Bitcoin Cash has (apparently) solved Bitcoin's most immediate problem, as is now more profitable to mine. However Bitcoin is still Bitcoin and most economic incentive is still on Bitcoin... With that being said, we can draw our own conclusions, but I think it's still soon to say if Bitcoin Cash will have any kind of support in the future. Completely dependent on what's going to happen with Bitcoin in near future.

It's an altcoin. Same question you can ask about litecoin or any other altcoin.

Bitcoin is bitcoin is bitcoin.

The only thing what makes me worry is the segwit2x, whereas the hardfork may become bitcoin.

Don't be deceived by those things you stated above and the current surge of BCH value. Soon, BCH will indeed have a place in the cryptocurrency market but I don't think it is in the position to challenge Bitcoin. No one can beat Bitcoin because it has been used and kept by millions by people already while BCH is still a neophyte and it can take time before BCH can reach the level already experienced by BTC.
