There has been rumors about BTC whales accumulating BCC but that's been just words on forums until I saw individual whales buy 100-200 worth of BTC in a few buy orders on bittrex. This was when the price hit $250/BCC. Until then I reasoned that the whole big blockers/OG money conspiring to take replace their BTC holding with the new bitcoin, BCC, was just a wild theory. You can dismiss this story saying those whales are just idiots but I don't think they got to where they are because they were dumb. At the very least, I believe BCC is a hedge against BTC failing and the value of BCC will be trail BTC the same as ETC to ETH.
