I will prefer to sell these old coins. Bitcoin remain only the better old coins. Others are dumped.

BCH all-time high is $4355. Its price today is $435. 10 times lower than its all-time high. BSV all-time high is $491. Its price now is $66. Almost 7.5 times lower than its all-time high. When bitcoin has been getting to all-time high this year.

Hold them? No.

Well, Bitcoin SV's "Terranode" upgrade is bound to happen soon (between the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025). It promised to bring "unbounded scalability" to the BSV blockchain. While I'm not a fan of the way BSV is organized (centralization), such network upgrade might help attract businesses into it. Perhaps, this means higher prices in the long run? Only time will tell. Bitcoin Cash, on the other hand, is much more decentralized and community-oriented. Its taken a "halt" in getting higher block sizes for quite a while. The project is now focusing on smart contracts and other use cases. Development is still happening behind the scenes, but popularity is waning. The majority is still focused on BTC, because it's the one with the most gains.

Despite the bullish market, both BCH and BSV are way below their last recorded ATHs. So they're not a good long-term investment after all. I guess my best bet would be to sell everything and buy more BTC. Who knows what would be of Bitcoin-based forks in the future? Smiley

I would rather play with altcoins such as Solana, SUI and all those are networks that are hype up right now because of meme coins than focus on the Bitcoin forks. Just judging by the recent price movements, A lot of coins are doing why much greater than them. Last time BCH failed to even go past the previous all-time high, I don't think it will achieve it this time round.

I have a few Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV in cold storage which I haven't sold off yet. I know these forks are widely-unpopular these days (especially BSV), but you'll never now if someday they hit the spotlight again. Considering that Bitcoin (BTC) is constantly being upgraded (of which the latest addition is Taproot), it makes no sense for Bitcoin-based forks to exist. BTC can already scale through the Lightning Network and other sidechains + L2s. All without compromising network security and decentralization.

Forks like BCH and BSV have on-chain scaling, but they're less decentralized. Last time I've checked, Litecoin was a lot cheaper to use than Bitcoin Cash itself. So there's that.

Do you think Bitcoin-based forks are worth it? If not, why? Are you holding any? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Smiley
