If the bitcoin cannot evolve and solve the block size problem, it will be replaced by more more actively coins.
That could be the reason why the Etherum price has risen so much in the last few weeks. The transaction speed is fast.
you have your monitor upside down, flip it upright
Did you not see the price of the Ethereum rose from 0.013 to 0.019 in the last few days. The bitcoin price also rose.
The ETH price dropped from 0.019 to 0.018 now. The price is still volatile. It needs more investor support.
The price volatility of the ETC or the ETH will continue until at least one of the coin dies or killed by attacks.
We shall know the fate of the ETC by the end of August when the DAO hacker can have access to his ETC.
The DAO hacker might have already shorted the ETC. So he might dump it to crash the price and then buy back cheaper.
The DAO attacker is not interested in shitcoinage. His actions and endeavours so far point to an interest in gud old cold hard cash. He will leave all ETC criminal coin bag hodlers penniless.
