ETC wanted to copy it's mother (or daughter) ETH by integrating EIPs in the blockchain of ETC but the couldn't get a consensus among it's developers.
EIP, originally conceived by Vitalik Buterin is an important security feature for smart contracts.
With this lack of consensus among the developers of ETC, where would ETC be heading? Are they just not trying to copy ETH and making themselves worse?

I also think like you. Up to now, ETC is failing. If there is no solution, I am confident that ETC will die.

Lack of consensus among the core developers is the primary problem here rather than EIP or anything else. We don't have enough specialist to operate this amount of mineable coins. And such fragmentation of minds and interest would halt the development of Cryptocurrency. We need fee but competitive platforms while other jobs could be done with tokens.

The lack of consensus is due to some developers believe that the upgrade can be done with doing any hard fork. The upgrade can done by just defining the changes without changing the rules. If this is the case, they should deliberate the changes again whether to do soft fork or hard fork. Nonetheless, Ethereum Classic is still far behind Ethereum.

I know that there is going to be an hardfork in the blockchain since there is no consensus between the developers, though I see the reason why a lot of developers don't want to accept the idea of adding what ETH has already added to their blockchain, I don't really care about what's going on between them, once I just find out that there is going to be an hardfork in the blockchain, I will make purchase of a lot of etc so that I can be a partaker of the upcoming hard fork, it is an opportunity again for us to make free cash for ourselves.

Is this why I heard that in the near future ETC will over take ETH? Well this is still some sort of experiment ,I will wait and see what comes out of this
