Fool me three.times, what's the saying for that?
Yes the fork is actually one of the best things that has happened for the original chain. Profiteer Vitalik and the corrupt Ethereum foundation had to go. It was nice of them to voluntarily step out and continue on with their own platform.
If you do not like the Profiteer Vitalik and the corrupt Ethereum foundation, you can create a coin and a foundation yourself.
The problem is that the Etheruem Foundation and the Vitalik own too many ETC, they do not want to crash the price of ETC.
I do not think the ETC is relevant any more. The microsoft and other companies will will use the Etheruem chain.
