BCH is just an altcoin because it's just a clone which is not really popular by the way. I think it's gonna be down some time later.
There is no doubt that it is gaining attention just because of similarity with bitcoin core name. This bitcoin cash is another shitty altcoin which is making vain attempts to surpass bitcoin in the race of being the most amazing digital currency.
Bitcoin is the one which is having largest customer community which is not even that of fiat currencies. Bitcoin is soon going to be legalized around the globe making other coins pretty useless.
