Bitcoin Forum

I have heard that ETC will be grow even more.
I dont do much forum talk or that stuff. I just mine for fun.

Now my friend is swapping thousands of euros every time and telling me to swap to ETC.
Yesterday he said i should swap to ETH, which I did and it did nicely, but do people think ETC will also keep growing?

I do believe that ETC equals the ETH marketcap

will ETC or ETH the best invest for 2017?

Come on? Really? The only place ETH and ETC are going is in the toilet where they belong. Good idea, flawed implementation. I doubt there is any fixing it, as evident by the numerous hardforks.

@quake313. Sadly yes. Ethereum classic also has the same flaws of Vitalik's Ethereum. The good in classic is the continued development is with passion and a desire to fix things. I will not consider it as dead yet if their developers have that kind of motivation.

I don't think so. This current pump of ETC is strange, certainly not caused by organic growth. Come on, over 30% rise in recent 24h? Tell me it is natural.
Soon it will drop massively - don't be baited by whales trying to pump it. There are better altcoin with brighter future to invest: Zcash & Zcoin, Maidsafecoin, Dash, Syscoin.

these two coins are just pure pump and dump coins. you buy at the bottom and dump when they are at maximum pumped price to get out fast and move on to the next coin, there is really nothing more to ETH or ETC that matters enough to call them "growing" or make them worth a real investment.
and them doing nicely has always been temporary before the dumping begins.

And I think you just stated the main problem with ETH as well as ETC...these brothers may soon be sidelined next year as people are looking for their past performance as barometers when it comes to trust. However, I still hope that a way can finally be found to make ETH stable and to fly high.

there are two major problems with ETC:
1) it is an altcoin that is being pump and dumped, which means like any other coin it is going to die after it exhausts its pump cycles.

2) it is ETC! we all know that it is the fork, and we also know and have witnessed manipulators dump massive amounts whenever ETC wants to make a upward movement, killing the pump in its infancy.

You got it the other way around.  ETC is the original chain that was still maintained by a few miners the day Buterin did the hard fork off it.  Technically ETC should be called 'Ethereum' and Buterin's chain should be 'Ethereum Fork'.

Eth is good project! But you just need few eth to use platform so dont know why price so hight!

But that just starting at this time.

And how about this?

They still need doing a hard work for later. $100? it possible.  :o

Hard to which one will be better to invest for 2017, but I will go with ETC as it is in a bullish mode and we can hear new development from the Chinese community who are interested more into ETC than ETH. ETH has run up and now it seems like correcting and consolidating and I don't see another run soon until problems are fixed by the devs.

Maidsafecoin.. Why? Cant even find a normal topic on this forum about it..

In theory Maidsafecoin is probably the most awaited project in cryptocurrency today. This project is trying to o decentralize content publishing and hosting on a larger scale.
The problem is that developers team is working ultra slow, but the task is so massive and devs want to make  sure it works very well before releasing it.
That is why you probably didn't hear much of Maidsafecoin recently - as this project is still in alpha phase.
But because of that Maidsafecoin is one of the best coins to invest, once project will be completed and go live, price of the tokens will skyrocket.

Thnx for you're answer, i got two more questions;

1. The project is not live yet, but why is it already possible to buy the coins?
2. Do you think the project will go live in 2017?

thnx

AFAIK Maidsafecoin is in alpha stage, it is not fully completed. Full release is expected to happen at some point in 2017.
Current build has the core features but without Safecoin rewards i.e it is not mineable and with no guarantee of data immutability.

only early launch ETC can equal and above ETH in marketcap
but after launch ETH still above and gap about marketcap is far in ETC
in dev create coin use ETH token is much dev, but ETC nothing dev create coin use ETC token

so only incraese price is posible, but if volume transaction equal or above eth is very dificult

Would you recommend to buy it now? or wait till the release date announcement?

$100? You are now hyping. Ethereum classic will never reach that kind of price because as mentioned in this forum, ETC has the same fatal flaws of ETH. One example is the growing size of the blockchains of both ETH and ETC is happening too fast.

Really disappointed I didn't buy some ETC last week. I had a hunch the price would rise, but never thought it would see a 20-30% increase.

I've heard that there is a lot of interest in ETC coming from the Asian regions, China specifically.
Anyone got some concrete info on some projects that are using ETC? I'm still not sure of the cause for the recent spike in price.

I'm finally glad that ETC broke the cap of 1/10th of ETH, as it used to be for months. About ETC at 2$, that's more because of Bitcoin increase than of ETC price rise, but it is still worth mentioning it.

1/10th?? It is closer to 1/6th now.
The market cap of ETH is ~$700Mn, while the market cap of ETC is $125Mn now. There is still a lot of catching up to do.

it is mostly because the ethereum whales was so busy putting up buy walls to prevent ETH crash and also they tried so hard to pump ETH so they forgot about dumping ETC and it could go up. just remember that it won't last long.

I don't see ETC at $2 for this year :P, but since both ETH and ETC are known for their often pump and dumps then it can happen in January.

The current ETC price right now is around $1.42 which is not so far from the target of $2 even though it is +40%

ETC is moving ahead with solid signals and getting more strong than ever. I have some of my reserve into this that is why I'm also glad to see current growth.

I'm not hyping. Etc has been there caused by ether, and looks like ether clone. And like you say there is not a large gap between them. It will possible if ETH has got $800 on his price.

I can see the price going above ETH once they move to the POS things, the miners will move their hardware ti ETC and market economics will play in and this will force the price up

Its really just a normal movement for altcoin on which they rise or fall on huge percentage on a short period of time but as expected they will do the opposite way in a short period of time too. On the coins that you suggested i would not include that shitcoin zcash because i dont see any brighter future on that coin.

You are right. The price might drop soon.
