I see we're still going sideways... currently $2725USD (Bitcoinaverage). Not bad, considering the fact that we all just got gifted an equal number of altcoin (BCH) tokens.

Exactly my feelings, I'm pleasantly surprised by the price evolution. Although it dips sometimes below $2700, I had expected a large dump coming from Big Blockers that simply want to harm the original Bitcoin. Now it seems the largest dump was before the split - in anticipation of a move that didn't happen.

Maybe the BCH adherents are still not sure if their coin will survive and therefore dump'd only a little fraction of their BTC, to scare us. But nobody panicked Grin

I don't think the drama is done quite yet. Let's at least wait until segwit is fully activated.

I think the activation will be flawless. The "extreme" group of Big Blockers has now their altcoin to play with, so they wouldn't try to influence Jihan and other miners that sympathize with the big block idea. And I think most miners are expecting high prices or even a new ATH if Segwit is activated, so they won't be interested in turbulences that could harm this scenario they would massively benefit from.
