BCC -> sell it when high and get more BTC, easy and simple scenario
But if BCC is valued highly, where does that value come from? Thin air? If BCC supporters are dumping BTC, and BTC supporters are dumping BCC, that would (in theory) drop the price of both. Like ETH/ETC, the overall market cap of Bitcoin could definitely take a hit -- if there is a real network split where a significant portion of the economy moves to BCC.
Price discovery (

as afar as I can see few exchanges are supporting BCC at the moment therefore it is hard to get the real value of a new asset ...
I don't know what the BCC's market capitalization really is ... in general I take a look on coinmarketcap ...
on their FAQ ..
What is "Market Capitalization" and how is it calculated?
Market Capitalization is one way to rank the relative size of a cryptocurrency. It's calculated by multiplying the Price by the Circulating Supply.
Market Cap = Price X Circulating Supply.
How are the prices calculated for various the cryptocurrencies?
Price is calculated by taking the volume weighted average of all prices reported at each market. Sources for the prices can be found on the markets section on each cryptocurrency page. For example, Bitcoin's markets.
What is the difference between "Circulating Supply", "Total Supply", and "Max Supply"?
Circulating Supply is the best approximation of the number of coins that are circulating in the market and in the general public's hands.
Total Supply is the total amount of coins in existence right now (minus any coins that have been verifiably burned).
Max Supply the best approximation of the maximum amount of coins that will ever exist in the lifetime of the cryptocurrency.
