Ether already hard fork ton of times and it is still the same, people don't care much as long it is pump and make them money. Money, money.  Ether is just kids project no one really use it in real life. Your ether going to be the same, it still there in new chain.

So what is the difference between ETC and ETH? I thought it split the entire thing into two different coins.

You have both coins if it stay in your wallet, both etc and eth. If your old eth is in exchange you probably need to ask exchange for your etc. There many more hard forks after etc but people don't give a crap anymore.

Same? No, it will impact some months, last ATH was 0.037, and it dumped to below 0.008 btc after multiple hardforks.

Ethereum will survive nearly anything at this stage.

If there is another fork, it will survive that too. Changes and patches will be implemented, and the chain will continue to function. If your coins split into the equivalent of what is ETC today, you can simply exchange them for what would be the main ETH forked currency of the future.

It's my understanding that this is what people did during the last fork. The price will be effected, of course, but that simply gives us a chance to buy low again. Ethereum is so far ahead of so many other cryptos, that none are even close enough to compete, DESPITE a potential fork, because developers will continue to work with it beyond that. It all boils down to scalability.

The market will decide what the value of each chain is.

Hmmm.. I ether is a kids proj. then JP Morgan, Microsoft, Intel, these are must be children. I did not know.

IBM have abandoned the crap, R3 is just crap and no one use it of being much hypes with hundred of millions being wasted. Soon all those companies will abandoned it too. It still don't have a normal working wallet, if a person not a geek chance they will never have an etheriuem wallet. The good part is i'm mining  Eth pretty good, right now I'm getting about $1.40 per rx480 per day, already minus the electricity then dump it on dumb morons who think this useless crap is worth somthing. Lol. But then this probably going to die out when it turned to POS coin. Good time will never last long.

Metropolis hard fork will be in june. It will bring major updates to the ecosystem, you can google for it if you wish. Nothing can happen to your coins, even if it splits into 10000 different chains. But there's no such risks. ETC split only happened because it was controversial and scamers used that to deceive people and make more money.

the same thing happens that happened last time Ethereum hard forked.
in case you missed it this is what happened:
1. DAO exploited the ethereum platform and Vitalik and his team lost a bunch of money
2. they decided to get their money back so they forked without reaching consensus through the whole network.
3. because there were no consensus, obviously a large group didn't accept it and they decided to continue on mining the original chain and called it ethereum classic.
4. people who had any ETH before the fork now had 2 sets of coins one on ETH and one on ETC and could sell on both chains.
5. ethereum foundation started a series of dumps over a period of time (many of which was caught and blocked by poloniex) to crash price of ETC

Are you calling the people currently giving you $1.40 per gpu per day morons? well I think those gpu manufacturers are calling you the moron now.When hard fork happens due to a bug or flaw in the system no one will continue to mine on the bugged chain and therefore the old chain is discarded entirely but everything in it minus the bug part is untouched and forked into a new chain.
