ETC moving from central banker fools to strong hands. ETH moving from strong hands to those fools and their minions.
I don't know if ETC has a future as an immutable computer for smart contract experiments. I am hoping some groups such as IOHK step up and make it so. Charles indicated they could take ETC a different direction from ETH's planned Casper debacle.
Hopefully the back dealings are being done now to bring professional groups into ETC and get the hard work done.
Bogging themselves down by trying to serve two masters may or may not be wise. I am not close enough to it to comment meaningfully.
I figure what ever fucked up shit contracts they put on ETH, someone else will clone, improve, and put on ETC. It is all open-source.
There's a lot of truth in this. I have to say that I'm dubious about both ETC and ETH, simply because they are centered around a foolish idea, which is complex, Turing complete, smart contracts. But on a small subset of tiny contracts, they can maybe thrive - but with a much smaller market cap then.
Everybody was fearing the "dump by the hacker", but forgot the ongoing, monumental dump by the ETH boys and girls who do not possess, like the DAO hacker, a few percent of ETC, but actually, more than 90%.
That said, once they dumped, they dumped. I think that the Robin Hood boys thing was nothing else but what the rest of the ETH community has been doing: dumping their ETC. This probably explains the distance from parity that is keeping on ; but at a certain point, they will, like socialists, run out of other people's money :-)
