Do you know that ETC is actually the original Ethereum? This is one of the reasons ...
... why I'm believing in ETC and holding it. ETC is actually the real Ethereum and ETH is the fork. They only changed the short names when there was the split to ETC and ETH after the DAO hack in 2016, so that many people are thinking that ETH is the original Ethereum. Of course ETH got a lot of improvements in the last years, but the ETC developers are also working on the ETC blockchain and in the moment they are preparing a new upgrade called "Atlantis". Let's see if ETC can reach values like its son ETH in the future... 
This is an interesting theory, if true it is extremely undervalued and one of the best buys on the crypto market.
Its true, ETC is the non-forked version of Ethereum and ETH is the fork after the DAO hack in 2016. Thats why the name is Ethereum Classic, because its the original Ethereum ("classic edition"). But in 2016 the most people of the Ethereum community decided to support the new ETH and not ETC. Thats why the new ETH became more popular and I think its because of the short name "ETH". Maybe if the developers wouldn't changed the name, ETC would be more popular now...
I wonder how many of the DEVS stayed on the original, ETC? That would be an interesting piece of information also. It does also explain why a lot of people use ETC to still build new projects upon or at least until EOS showed up. I'm not sure how many are still building new tokens on ETC.
Yes this would be interesting to know.
