These are only the first shots in the first battle of a long war.

BCH has a diifficult fight to gain traction against such a large community as BTC.  The issues are reinforced by the amount of institutional money which will flow via CME and other futures contracts.

I have no doubt that all cryptos will suffer for a long time, but it is the most effective way of proving consensus (like knocking heads together). The whole market needs a shakeout, and a price crash would be healthy for the long term. It has to happen, and it is overdue now.

Yes, the biggest supply is still locked up in Coinbase.

It is difficult to predict, but of course there will be substantial selling pressure on BCH in the weeks after the release. BTC community has a lot of ammunition there.

Why is it called Bitcoin Cash if it is the real Bitcoin?

But that's rather pointless since nobody is even using BCH to come anywhere near the 8MB block size, It's like installing wind splitters and wings on a pinto. It may look "cool" to some, but it's stupid and it is not doing anything functional. Even with 200kb block size limit, BCH would have cheaper fees, since nobody cares about this shitcoin expect for chinese miners who dump BTC to buy this crap.
Even if BCH does get wide spread adoption, and 8MB blocks get filled to the last byte, full nodes would have to store (by my rough estimate) more than 100TB data.

Yes, i don't know why whales are pumping this coin in the market without any value. People should understand BCH is just pump coin where many people will loose hopes once it dumping back to previous value.

As my idea bitmain pushes bch on market. They probably have huge load of bch. Now they try to make money also from trading.

BCH could have the earliest chance to take over crypto supremacy if Segwit2x were strong enough to successfully replace Bitcoin Core. BCH is pumping because people know that it is largest miner. If Bitcoin is badly divided with not much miners left then it will end up with BCH as the most efficient. Let's see what happens soon.

The chain with most transactions is better. It's not up for debate, it is reality. You can throw as much mining power on a chain as you wish, but if very few people even use it to send transaction it is a failure.

lol, wtf is wrong with you?
