Reading the many responses on this topic is making me more confused
That's probably the intention. Trying to promote this BCC altcoin by pretending that it is the alternative to the SegWit2x hard fork that is to come around October. Really the classic Bitcoin will just be Bitcoin, or the people who don't update their clients to BTC1 or whatever they'll call it. The real fork and panic is the October SegWit2x hard fork not this little altcoin attempt.
