Yeah. ETC will still take while. But then again BTC took a while. And ETC blockchain is about as useful as ETH blockchain.
How is that though, seems to me like ethereum is moving in directions while eth classic is staying behind.
We need to see more from the team. They passed a good year in 2017 by makin an icrease 10 or 15 times. The next year is still surprise for ethereum classic. We need to wait and see the result whether it will go up to $50.
It is just a matter of patience. Come on! It took most of these coins some time to grow. Look at BTC, it did not just grow over night and for ETC, we have still have a lot of years ahead for the coin. For a long term investment though, as long as a coin shows sign of viability, I really do not discard it. Even Litecoin had its years of drag before seeing some pretty huge increase for it at the end of this year.
It is never too late to invest anyway. I am actually surprised that it has really done well so far at this late hour stage of the year as I expected that it would take some time before it can start seeing some huge interest in the market, but it is of course a good investment with the hopes of having some good run in the upward trend later on.
