"even though I agree with the sentiment that it is little more than another altcoin which just happens to have the same transaction history as bitcoin"
I find this an odd position, although I don't think BCC will necessarily be the winner.
Surely you know that BCC is the real Bitcoin, the only one that matches the white paper, and that SegWit and off-chain transactions violate the very definition of Bitcoin?
No I disagree. It is a cynical money grab. Further if you are talking about the original whitepaper then neither the 8MB block size is entirely consistent with that, nor is the fact that one single exchange and mining pool is doing it. Let's not pretend that this is sticking to some kind of ideal. If you really believe that then there are better alternatives such as Bitcoin Unlimited.
