ETC is gaining serious traction. It makes sense to hold some of it

ETC is open to double spend replay attacks and is barely mined so is highly unsupported and insecure. It's also about to suffer a serious 51% attack. Gud luck with that coinage.

And this is supposed to endear the community to ETH investors how exactly? The fact they can roll back the clock in pursuit of their precious investments and then blow the opposition out of the water at will?

Good luck putting that on a flyer. It's over.

Well said.

If Chancellor Butarin passively excludes or actively supports attacks on ETC, expect a mutiny within Team Vitalik as his devs either defect to Team ETC or (as is the actual case so far) pledge to support both branches and let users decide.

The investment case for ETH is weaker than for ETC:

What I realized so far is that a blockchain without a well-defined social contract will sooner or later face serious problems. At this moment, interestingly, the old "classic" chain is the one that already has a better contract. Its the one that hasnt been changed, but splitting off the majority of its value into a new chain changed its implied contract.

We can assume that whoever finds the old chain valuable believes that unintended contract behavior is no reason to fork. That chain will never face another crisis because of a similar event. On the other hand, ether holders of the new chain might still disagree if this fork was a precedent for all similar cases or just a one-time disaster fix that shouldnt happen ever again.

1 dev!! ROFLMO

Check again. Way more than "1 dev" now, including an original ETH co-founder.

Let's also note you have zero response to Zsolt's analysis regarding the superiority of ETC's investment thesis over VB's shitty TARP bailout fork.

SFYL.
