Bittylicious always judges technologies on their technical merit rather than political implications. We believe that SegWit solves many outstanding issues in Bitcoin and enables interesting technologies in the future. We also believe that a block size increase is a good solution in the interim to reduce pressures on increasing transaction prices. We do not care whether people think there is censorship going on, centralised control etc; we have judged these technologies on their code.
We do, however, believe that open source software is designed such that forks like this are created, and that having user choice is overall a good thing. The market also, as a whole, seems interested in BCH and, as such, this is now available on Bittylicious.

==BCC on Bittylicious==
Bittylicious has no intention of adding BCC as a tradable token on Bittylicious.
==Fork on 1st August==
Bittylicious will be keeping a close eye on the BCC fork on 1st August. We believe there is a significant chance that the BCC tokens will be worth a negligible amount and thus do not want to go through the effort of running the Bitcoin ABC daemon and linking this to the Bittylicious UI. However, if it turns out there is noticeable value, we will discuss this with brokers on the platform who may hold coins with us.
Bittylicious will not use its own BCC tokens without offering the option for brokers to access their tokens.
Bittylicious does, however, give some credit to the BCC team for implementing chain replay protection. This means it is not essential for BTC and BCC coins to be split immediately after the fork.
Bittylicious has no intention of stopping trading around the time of the fork as it believes that impact will be small.

Bittylicious Policy on the UAHF / BCC / BCH / Bitcoin Cash / BitcoinABC / BCash fork

This will be referred to BCH in this short article.

Overall thoughts

Bittylicious considers BCH to be a waste of everybody's time. We believe that there is no technical reason to doubt that SegWit is the way forward for now, and that efforts like BCH do not serve a useful purpose.

We do, however, believe that open source software is designed such that forks like this are created, and that having user choice is overall a good thing. The market also, as a whole, seems interested in BCH and, as such, this is now available on Bittylicious.

Bittylicious always judges technologies on their technical merit rather than political implications. We believe that SegWit solves many outstanding issues in Bitcoin and enables interesting technologies in the future. We do not care whether people think there is censorship going on, centralised control etc; we have judged these technologies on their code.

We also believe that if people don't want to use newly enabled technologies like the Lightning Network, they are free not to. Enabling technologies does not cause any issues; only disabling technologies does.
