replace the words LTC and ETC and replace them literary with any other altcoin and post the same thing again. it will be 100% true. all of them are craps with little to no real usages.
people fool themselves that some random altcoin is good just because its price was high or it has a huge marketcap and then in a week or a month that the price was dumped real good they come back and ask "what is happening, why did the price go down 45% in one day"

but none of these means they are not profitable! i am not sure about ETC but LTC is on a good rise these days, it has already given me >65% profit
