Bitcoin Q&A: BCHABC vs. BCHSV hard forks

What happened with the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) hard fork on November 15th? What kind of fork was it? What is the difference between BCHABC / BAB and BCHSV / BSV (note: broad agreement on ticker symbols has not necessarily occurred yet)? What will OP_DATASIGVERIFY and Canonical Transaction Ordering (CTOR) do? Does the original chain still exist? Is there a hash war going on? What happens to coins from the prior BCH chain? What is replay protection?

These questions are from the November monthly Patreon session, which took place on November 17th 2018. If you want early-access to talks and a chance to participate in the monthly live Q&As with Andreas, become a patron: https://www.patreon.com/aantonop
