I do not know why many Ethereum fork holders are happy with the price right now. The movement is still weak and it is very possible that it will go down again. It would be safer to save your money now and buy at a lower price later. If you buy now you are taking more extra risk than by buying lower.
The ETC price is dropping at the moment, if the trend continues, by the end of August, the DAO hacker will not earn much.
