While the market is still dwindling in a bearish wave, BCH or Bitcoin Cash is seeing a surge in its price, reason being the Hardfork set to Occur on 15th Nov. Which will divide BCH Blockchain into 2 coins and 2 Blockchains, And everyone wants to capitulate on it.

The market is expecting that the new coins will also see comparable price in the market and since big exchanges like Binance, Coinbase and Poloniex are going to support it. The resultant price of coins is supposedly high since the community is also unclear on which of the two will carry forward as main BCH coin and which Blockchain will fade away as less useful to investors and developers.

While in BCH, Hardfork in form of software upgrade happens almost twice in a year, but since all has been well in developer community so we have not seen more BCH chains yet. But this time Bitcoin community is divided into two factions, one led by Nchain and other by Bitcoin ABC. So Nchain is set to implement its own upgrade and causing forking of the chain into two.

 
Nchain which like Satoshi’s Vision intends to implement these changes in BCH-

• Restoring more original Satoshi opcodes:  OP_MUL, OP_LSHIFT, OP_RSHIFT, OP_INVERT
• Removing the limit of 201 opcodes per script
• Raising the maximum block size to 128MB

 
Its client software which enables the use of BCH is known as Bitcoin- SV (Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (SV)).

What should BCH holders do

Expected both coins are going to be priced considerably in comparison to BCH price now 608$( 25% higher than two days before price), so losing out on both is not gonna be a good decision , While in upcoming days lot of exchange and wallets will support the hardfork but if not, than you should move your BCH to compatible wallet/exchanges. With new coin available to trade heavy sell is expected as usual, so be ready if you want to cash out but not fully as it’s not clear which coin will go forward as the main coin.

We will keep tab on this matter and will update more relevant information as it arrives.
