Bitcoin is free. Tax implications, BTC + BCC for tax purposes. KYC concerns. Exchanges will know where your cold storage real bitcoin is, too. Until there's a better way to sell, like bitsquare or localbitcoins, I won't. Bitch coin - It has come and gone. It was a non-event in my mind. The biggest thing it did was invalidate a lot of Technical Analysis. Overall, bcash is a centralized coin. 10s of nodes on AWS, only a few miners.

It turns out that 95% of ransomware and other hacks were going through btc-e. They say they will come back, but I doubt it at this point. "Bitcoin's consensus rules are rules chosen by Bitcoin miners,[...]. If miners adopt new consensus rules, those people that run full Bitcoin network nodes must upgrade..." They don't get that miners follow the rules demanded by the users. Even their boss Jihan knows this because he went along with segwit. https://blog.bitpay.com/august-1-service
