I wonder of "We the People", as in 40 billion $, will trust a 3 month old website and a lame copycat of the Bitcoin Core software.
To be fair, being a copycat is kind of a good thing. Their code is likely to be less buggy if they copy the tried and tested code and only modify small amounts of it themselves.
Anyway, I suppose we'll have to find out after August 1st who the market supports. I agree that Bitcoin Cash doing to well is unlikely - kwukduck started a thread saying that it would do well, so now I'm quite convinced that it won't.
But don't you think copying just someone's code and modifying it can be done by almost every coder. If this is the case then everyone will start creating new bitcoin coin and will try to perform big hard forks. This will just rip off the basis of bitcoin and its working. I'm sure there involves lot of other things other than just copying the code itself.
No, not everyone will trust the new currency as long as it is being loved by new developers for may be "testing".
But investors might find it little hesitating to invest into it at all. To me BCC looks just a creation of curiosity which won't be getting any investment real soon. It will get attraction of many people but through the long run of time that too if people think that it is worth to invest.
