okay, a little thread on cryptomarkets and what I think is going on:
-
-
volatility is a direct consequence of lack of liquidity, as it spreads further and traps more resources, its USD price will likely cease to matter for the prices it denominates.
-
BCH, being more liquid, is already way more stable than BTC.

also gold has intrinsic value, which serves as a price floor. bitcoin can fall to zero, gold can't (this has a buoying effect much stronger than its actual practical value)
-
well, the Core implementation has long processing times and high fees, but BCH doesn't. it's a contingent feature depending on design choices made by devs.
-
as to uses besides its role as currency: the blockchain can be used as a coordination tool, and the network can be used to safely store information.
