Should be worth less than litecoin imo

Yet you have no rational reason for saying so. Bitcoin Cash seems to be taking over Bitcoin.

And if we look at rising BCH price, it could be sooner as we think. BCH +56%, BTC -4%, LTC -1%

May be yes, may be no. Let's look the LiteCoin Facts - I will do next ...
