Well, ahead of BCH hard fork (which is scheduled for today), discussions over the prospects of Bitcoin Cash have been observed among its community skewed between two troops.
BitMex sheds some light on bitcoin cash as this cryptocurrency is expected to conduct a hard-fork upgrade today. There are predominantly two competing incompatible hard-fork upgrade proposals, with the associated clients being Bitcoin ABC and Bitcoin SV.
Hence, a potential chain split is the news; while users holding BCH prior to the hard-fork could end up with coins on both sides of the split.
Well, on settlement grounds, the BCHZ18 contract will settle at a price on the Bitcoin ABC side of any split and will not include the value of Bitcoin SV.
Currency Strength Index: FxWirePro's hourly BTC is flashing at -113 (which is bearish), hourly USD is inching at -111 (bearish), while articulating (at 05:20 GMT).
