Actually, ETH is the copy, born with the DAO fork.
A better copy, but a copy. Ethereum "Classic" is the original.
A pump and dump technical alternative to the mainstream token like BCH and LTC are for BTC, but still, i made a lot of money with ETC the last 6 months, and i will do it again in the next 3 days, because of the good news form the summit.
You don't need to have fait in this token, in this future, just buy the rumor, sell the news, like all others pump and dump coins (Ripple is my favorite, then Lumen, ETC, LTC).
