No. It was already planned and known there would be a dump period. The price will be volatile and with some downward pressure and the earlier seller sell off. Price can be propped up with orders and exchanges can claim different types of friction to halt the liquidity to keep the price showing bitcoin cash is relevant (ie not near 0).once the dust settles or as it does, the mining is going to ramp up and the economics and game theory is going to change gears.

HODL your bitcoin not the copycat altcoin.
