ETC is well maintained and they have always promised to stay PoS resistant and always on the PoW style.This is enough to attract many new investors and or miners but miners are already there as the hash rate mainly transferred to this coin after ETH moved to PoS in September 2022.

I think true decentralization though and fighting the ASICS is only being done by the Raptoreum project as they use an algorithm that changes every now and then and as such making it ASIC resistant.For me they are a good team and I am waiting when their devs will allow 2-3 programming languages to build apps on this network,then the price will skyrocket,it is better go collect as many coins as we can now that they are easy to make and mine.This project together with ETHW,ETHF,and ZIL are my main ones that I am actively participating and mining them.
