Is bcc/bch will pump its price to the moon like btc?

LIKE BTC?

BCH is not in anyway comparable to bitcoin. BCH is just another altcoin which has its own market. What all popularity it got by splitting off from Bitcoin is over. Now, some bulk holders or pump groups are pumping the coin and there is no solid reason behind the price increase. Thus, it will dump soon. Many have already forgotten about it.

As far as I am aware, and please correct me if I am wrong, but isn't really the only difference that BCH has 8MB max block size(actually it can be more if nodes/miners agree).

How exactly is it an altcoin when it does on-chain scaling? I would be interested to hear more about this as I haven't kept up on it to be honest.

I understand the majority here hates BCH, but I can't really understand why. Isn't it a good thing they split off from us and they can go away now?

It's an altcoin because it's just a hard fork that replicates the UTXO set. Most people realize by now that "on-chain scaling" includes Segwit's block size increase (and future optimizations like signature aggregation), so they realize fixes are on the way and Segwit will soon be usable.

Long term, sure, it's good if the BU crowd splits off. But if the split is significant, it could significantly hurt the combined market cap, given Metcalfe's Law.

I think a split is bad although we've seen from BTC / BCH and even ETH / Classic splits that the total market size is often larger post split than pre-split. If you hold your coins right / you're golden. Now with that said, I still think it's bad for the community and project as whole. Allow me to explain, the average user isn't trying to keep up with all this tech nonsense. Their money split in half!? OMG?! They don't get split chains and duplicate chains and exchanges and what not... we gotta be focused on simplifying things not making em more complicated.
