I'm giving ETH the advantage of doubt now. I haven't invested new money into it for a while, but in fact I'm still making good enough profit for me with trading the ETH that I already have. I wouldn't base a long-term plan on it, but I wouldn't just sell all my ETH at once either.
Your life is pretty good if you use the ETH as one place to invest (trading), and I think that ETH will not be game over. Because the ETH has its own uniqueness and they also have a foundation strong enough to survive in the market altcoin. So if you still doubt, then you can use the ETH for short term
Yeah, let's talk about ETH as if it were living in a vacuum, and this little diluting coin, called ETC, did not exist.
That is an interesting idea thinking of ETC of diluting ETH and making the price go down. There is some truth in that comment only because ETH can be split and the user can receive an equivalent amount of ETC. But what would happen if they fix it and let the two chains diverge. Would you still view ETC as a dilution of ETH?
I doubt that I understand the dynamics well enough to speculate about how able each chain is to become unique from the other. I do consider both coins to be kind of shit coins; however, ETC seems to be more valuable in terms of attempting to get away from centralized and manipulated systems, so in the longer term, I see the prices of the two approaching parity (even if they attempt to distinguish from each other), and maybe even ETC could surpass the value of ETH - yet I don't have any real understanding whether ETC would go up before ETH comes down or if both of them go down... yet I still have the sense that they are going to always remain somewhat connected because they are almost the same thing with ETC merely attempting to remain a decentralized version of ETH.
