It clearly seems to solve a much bigger problem and hence the increase in price: a store of value in a time where the Feds balance sheet increases with the same velocity as Bitcoins price. On the other hand - it is still being used for payments. Though I am not a friend of the settlement layer idea myself. Time will tell how BCH will fare.

BCH might be Bitcoin's only hope. The upcoming Segwit2x fork (Segregated Witness + 2x block size increase) would have been fine 2 years ago. If it succeeds now I'm afraid all of Bitcoin will suffer and only Ethereum will benefit. While I love all the developments happening on Ethereum, it's not the censorship proof money that I was promised.
