The Bitcoin Cash blockchain has the same history as the Bitcoin chain. So, which is more legitimate? The one that took the big-block approach or the one who added a new type of transactions called 'segregated witness'? Its argued on this basis that BCH is the real Bitcoin.
Then there is Andresen who was the first curator of Bitcoin after Satoshi himself. He was (maybe still is) a big-block head. You may say he has more legitamacy than the devs who are in charge of the project now.
None of these arguments contradict the reality that big money will likely continue to flow into BTC. They care neither about decentralization or freedom from the banks. They only care about the price going up. I think it can 100x one more time. Believe or not other altcoins could come for the ride. There has been an upswing bringing Ethereum to the BTC price it was before the BTC bull run.
