Practically everyone here is saying that BCC is an altcoin because it is in the minority. So if BCC surpasses BTC, does that mean that BTC becomes the altcoin?
In the first place, BCC won't surpasses in terms of usage and trading volumes. It was BCC who created the hard fork, they decide to mine on the new ruleset, and some continue on the old ruleset. No block produced under the new rules is valid under the old rules, and vice versa. In this case, the chains are eternally split with no chance of ever converging, no matter how much work is mined into each chain. So in essence, BCH is just an altcoin by diverging from the original BTC.
Yes,it would remain just an altcoin.BCC developers tried to develop it as a substitute for bitcoin but due to lack of support,it have to just remain as an altcoin.Even most of those who get BCC equal to BTC are also ready to just dump their BCC as soon as possible and buy BTC with it.So BCC would remain alive for only few days.
They still think that by increasing the blocksize they would get more support. But on the contrary, people have stay away from it and remain loyal to bitcoin. Looks like it is the case, people just get free BCC then dumped it quickly. But it will remain alive as long as there are people still believing and supporting it, although the price would be really low like $100 or less.
