The hardest fork

Everything was chaos last week. Panic selling and concern over the fate of bitcoin. I sold out to usd tether because I had already lost enough in the crypto bloodbath the week prior. I was expecting and hoping the price of bitcoin to drop drastically. I wanted to be able to buy back in and recover some losses. But of course the price of btc kept rising and rising and nobody seemed worried about the upcoming fork. So when btc was down, I bought back in. My money went into gamecredits and dash. More on game credits later. Luckily btc is going up and so is GC. My only concern is that the new currency bitcoin cash is also going up... $450 right now and climbing. Where is the money coming from to power this. Bitcoin hadn't dropped. What's going on?? This can't be good...
