Yeah. ETC will still take while. But then again BTC took a while. And ETC blockchain is about as useful as ETH blockchain.
How is that though, seems to me like ethereum is moving in directions while eth classic is staying behind.
I don't think they are staying behind. They are moving forward and updating. But just like mentioned before, the crypto community still is a little bit cautious when it comes to ETC. So they don't have as much coverage as ETH.
