Don't really see it as a split. BCC will fork of into a irrelevant altcoin. BTC will continue to grow.
I can't really see anyone using a centralized coin that has one miner behind it like BCC

explain more please
who is behind bcc ??if it will be centralized and there must be someone behind it... who...?

I've seen no details whatever on the identity of the folks pushing BitcoinCash (please everyone stop calling it BCC - that is BitConnect).

Bitmain has disavowed itself from the effort saying it is a splinter group. They imply it is being led by ViaBTC but I don't have any details on that.

This lack of identity is one reason I think it could be nothing more than a scam effort by criminals trying to steal BTC, as follows:

1. Announce launch of a coin at a time guaranteed to get maximum news coverage, and with timing so tight that exchanges and wallet services can't possibly be prepared.
2. Arrange a futures market (on ViaBTC) and prop up the price there so it looks fairly valuable, creating strong interest in all Bitcoin owners who want to dump it before it inevitably deflates.
3. Then, since exchanges and wallets are unprepared for the split and users are eager/desperate to split their coins and get their "free money" - release malware claiming to be a wallet or splitting tool to enable users to claim their BitcoinCash. Except what it really does is send your private Bitcoin keys (which you need to load into it, naturally) to the scammers. You lose both your BitcoinCash AND all your Bitcoin.

Theymos stated in another thread that BCC will likely have much less value than Bitcoin as it's considered as a massive airdrop.
