I mined a few ETC back in the day and have always thought it could be a simple alternative to Ethereum's high fees, but there doesn't seem to be much development on it. And I hear some of the devs who were involved in the Segwit2x scheme use it as a sandbox. When I add it to MetaMask, the price doesn't show up. I don't know much about it, except it's the original chain after some hack.
It seems like a low price and low development. But with the merger, the ETH miners are going to move to ETC. This will give it more hashpower and protect it from double spend 51% attacks that have happened in the past. It's an interesting token for me and could be a fertile sandbox for the next bull market or a dumpster fire like BCH. I am curious what others think of Ethereum Classic. I don't hear it talked about much, anymore.
