In mining, it is in third place and the price has grown to $ 40, but now it has fallen to 20.
I think together with the growth of bitcoin and the ETC should grow.

Yes instead buying ETC maybe you should buy ETH. ETH is the main coin with good project and usefull. If ETC boom it must be, because of ethereum so why not buy the main coin instead.
