Is a BTC - BCC flippening in the offing?

The magic number for definite de-adoption of a currency may
be somewhere above $7 per tx. This is what it costs to transact
in the stock markets. Or above say 10%, perhaps an expected
return from the stock markets. Or above the 3% credit card take,
or money wire take, or other in/out costs. Or below business ventures.
Or above the petrol money to go buy in poker and beer at your mates vs
satoshidice.
A lot of traditional investors, retail, and users who don't get the whole
crypto gold storage anarcho digital adoption entrenched thing are going
to be looking at it in those terms. If it wasn't for anarcho theory, BTC
might have died as soon as its mempool was foregone.
BTC has high fees, internal issues, no privacy, and significant
advanced competition now. If those issues aren't resolved any survival
of BTC will be based purely on stupid goodwill. While BCC may address
the first two of those and earn itself a flippening, the latter two remain
with as of yet no roadmap out. We now see webmarkets and payment
processor API's evolving to support more than one coin. This will put
even more pressure on BTC / BCC from the advanced coins to the
point of further leveling, or even flippening them both out long term.
(They're at a combined 53% market cap now.)

Keep your eyes on the strongly private coins, the feature / compute
programmable / application / AI coins, the cartel coins, any coins
that solve a lot of todays coin deficiencies in one coin, and whichever
coins have stupid mass bling appeal.

People can probably suggest and wager which coins are leading
and or upcoming in each area.
