Yeah, it is sad how the so-called "leaders" (a term very loosely used for the most visible, influential people) are fighting amongst themselves. Anyway, I cannot offer any words of consolation. All I can really say is that things seem to be settling down and future attacks of the same vein are less likely to succeed in the future.
I would like to correct you here by saying that the so called leaders were not fighting among themselves but joined hands together and made a group of big whales for their plan of dumping. They pumped BCH and created a hype in the market that BCH will defeat BTC. The foolish people took part in the pump and lost in the dump. The wise traders exited by taking a good profit. The whales exited at the top and achieved their goals.
People now know the original value of Bitcoin and will not take part in such activities further I hope. It must be a lesson for everyone.
Hold on to your BTC guys, it is the one which will make you rich in the future, don't betray it.
