If you support the ETC criminal coin their you condone nothing more than thievery. Spoetniktards of your ilk make myself, and all right minded decent people, physically sick think that you dare to call yourself a member of the human race.
I suppose you never touch a dollar or a Euro or any other big fiat money where the central bank didn't issue new money after some got stolen (like with the great train robbery) ? I suppose you don't touch bitcoin ? I suppose you don't touch gold ? All those "thieves store of value things" ?
any other coin would have failed for sure by this time.
ETH is still standing strong , go figure...
It might well be that it is the ETC dumping for ETH, and as such, generating demand for ETH, that keeps the price high. So ironically enough, maybe ETC is keeping ETH alive, because it has given "free money" to ETH holders to buy more ETH.
That said, the overall market cap of ETC + ETH is about $13.2 and so on a slight decrease since the fork. It would probably have been much lower if there hadn't been this pumping/dumping swing between both that has attracted a lot of day traders as long as it lasts. ETC is what is still keeping ETH somewhat alive.
Two chains is less safer than one chain. The low hash chain can be attacked. Nobody will work on that chain.
Well, ETC is what remains of the ethereum chain after the 51% attack that was organized by the foundation, and its mutated chain now goes under the name of ETH. Looking at the mining power and market cap, this attack is not ready to stop soon.
So it is not true that the highest mining power is safest: we see that the highest mining power goes to the attacked chain. The chain that is still running the original protocol is ETC, the survivor of the attack.
All valid points ETC really is whats keeping ETH on life support, there is alot of market cap there to wither off and die.
