1) Conbase was never a bitcoin company. They'll sell you whatever will make them a profit. 2) Bcash is a centralized scam, designed to overtake success of Bitcoin by using propaganda to confuse newcomers. Decentralization matter. Avoid both.

I entered bitcoin in 2010 and left my daily job in 2011. But I was forced to sell most of my coins in dip @ 2USD/BTC to pay for servers and keep @slush_pool running. 300USD was a lot of money for many people back then and thinking that everybody must be filthy rich is dangerous.
