I agree Bitcoin is dead *places large buy order at $14,000*

Lightning Network is far more than a tempory solution, it's the only feasible scaling solution in site. Bcash is only cheap to use because demand is so low. The recent tests of LN on the live network show it is almost ready to launch. Bitcoin is far ahead in adoption and the furthest ahead in developing a scaling solution. That is a very good reason to back Bitcoin in this race and not get distracted by the noises around.

Don't panic!
Bitcoin is not dead 
Bitcoin has huge potential to rise now.
I think it's time to buy it.

This is a testing time for bitcoin right now, as there are a lot of new people coming in and discovering bitcoin and the crypto world, it is a shame that this is the time when bitcoin is suffering the most with crazy high fees and slow transaction times.

It is an ideal opportunity for bitcoin cash to start getting themselves across with faster transaction times and so on, they are not shy about this and we can see now that it has been added to Coinbase it will only increase.

I would not say bitcoin is dead at all, bitcoin will move out of daily payments where transaction need to be quicker and cheaper and move over to a store of value, bitcoin cash can then move into a currency for daily payments.

There is room for both.

More reasons to buy the dip as Bitcoin cash is pretty evidently being pumped by Coinbase's move. Soon enough, get ready to watch the rolls being reversed as the hype train derails and Bitcoin cash begins plummeting.

As TheQuin stated above, Lightning Network is a solution for the longer run to resolve scalability issues that the core is hurdled with and is focused on delivering much more than a temporary way out.

TIME TO BUY! 

The first question anyone should ask when something like this happens is "What caused it?"

As you now know, in this case it was Coinbase transferring BTC holdings into BCH for those that had requested it prior to the fork on August 1st. This means that despite what many will believe, it was NOT a major sell-off. Of course, now that Coinbase is offering BCH there may be many more buying into it, especially having seen growth of over 50% in under 24 hours, but these people will be doing so because:
a) they didn't know what caused that sudden hike, and
b) they buy what they consider to be most popular, and never take advantage of the dips.

I don't know if BTC will recover and hit the $20k mark this year but it is very likely to do that in January. BTC still retains the largest market cap (over 5x greater than BCH) and will undoubtedly rise to incredible heights in 2018.

Roger Ver may claim his product is superior, and that may well be true, BUT he has not understood that you do not have to have the best product in order to win the largest market share. Just look at the auto and technology industries if you don't believe me.

Dead again? How many times exactly we have read such stupid announcements this year?
I'm getting tired of such posts and fullish Bitcoin cash promotions, endless complainig on fees etc. And I have very simple solution for such users - if you don't like Bitcoin just stop using it and all your problems will be solved.

exactly let them sell us cheap bitcoins, There are alot of fud bitcoin cash pumpers now.  bitcoin price will only triple once the Lightning network is on track with Bitcoin.  Wait and see.  Put ur money into ETH and Bitcash and then dump once u make a feasible profit and put it back into BTC once the price reaches low enough, you are going to make a killing

what make you feel that bitcoin is dead,this a volatile coin we all know it will raise and fall at anytime but this dose not mean that the currency is dead ,it happen so many times.
