RE: What's the deal with Bitcoin Cash (BCC)? (Does the recent fork mean I now have a bunch more money automatically?) 10 SBD tip for most helpful answer.

I shifted my BTC holding to Bittrex wallet and as of yesterday ( after the fork), I automatically have an equivalent amount of BCC now along with my original BTC. After the fork, the BTC price has held steady almost but BCC price, which earlier was trading in futures at around $330 has almost tripled and is around $1070 now. So, it looks like I do have free cash in the form of BCC at the moment because Bittrex supports both, the original blockchain and the fork. Ofcourse, we have to see how the BCC price behaves. Since it has a much smaller market Cap compared to BTC, there are fears thati will be more vulnerable to pump and dump operations as well as 51% attacks ( from what I read). Some experts have also predicted that BCC price will plunge because a lot of holders will try to sell off and encash the free coins they have received. However, based on the trend so far, it looks like BCC may still hold strong price (above 600 $) even after a major correction. With the hard fork having occurred, BTC also May resume its former uptrend. Therefore, I am holding on to both BTC and BCC and will watch progress. Sharing this personal observation to provide data points for others to evaluate in their analysis. I am not too well versed. An opinion from experts will help me and others too.
