Bitmain accepts preorder payments for their s9 asic miners in BCash. It means that all ppl around the globe who want to mine the REAL bitcoin are forced to buy this shitty clone to pay for the equipment they need. This increases the demand and its price grows. This, in its turn, leads to the fact that for some limited periods it's more profitable to mine bch, and a lot of hashrate goes there, so the real btc blocks become harder to find and this causes the delays in btc payments. But i doubt if even the creators of bch fork believe in their coin, so most of its miners are mine-and-sell, and the price will drop the other day if no mine-and-hold big guys appear.
