As of now, 547P USA EDT there are 8 blocks on the BCH Chain and it continues.

Trading is open on Kraken. I will try to do a deeper survey later and write it down. Here is what we know for sure.

• BCH is real, it is here, you can buy it, you can sell it, you can trade it
• BCH is young, a lot can happen
• BCH is big (likely #3 crypto, ahead of Ripple and Litecoin)
• BCH has hashpower... more than the naysayers thought (8 blocks in about 11.5 hours is not great but remember they are hashing as if they have the hashpower of the whole BTC network)
