I do not think ETC is a very good coin, of course it can still bring some profit in a short time, but I find that it is not suitable for long-term investment. Better ETH.
On the long term ETH will switch to POS and miners will shift to ETC to use the same hardware
also no ICOs yet but soon people will realize it's way cheaper to operate their smart contracts on ETC chain instead of ETH
i know i'm a bit bullish on ETC and my opinion is a bit biased also as it made me a good sum of money before
but stating the facts and running simple math we can see that on the worst case scenario
we all know it'll reach at least in 30$ the next few weeks when coinbase buyers get used to seeing it
and according to marketcap we can predict ~60$ on the next bull run and a maximum of around ~120$ as the next ATH
