I agree with your assessment completely. I think in the long term we probably won't have either. I'm afraid bitcoin core has been compromised. I would do some digging into what segwit actually did because it basically ruined bitcoin. I don't know if I trust BCH but their open letter was really good and so far they've done amazing things. If I had to choose I would take BCH, but honestly I think something like cardano will likely outlast them both.
