ETC is very real. It's the answer against bailout attempts in the crypto community.
ETC started climbing in price like crazy. seems like a pump.
Ethereum is almost at 10$.
Bitcoin is at 600$.
What's coming next? dump of ETC and rise of both ETH and BTC? or a continuous rise of ETC?
Your topic title question + comment is hard to answer.
Can you clarify what you are asking ?Such as..
Are you just asking the community here about ETH + ETC ?
Or are you talking about change on larger scale (the whole scene / all coins)
Guessing you meant in relation to ETH / ETC ...ME? i am not so sure.. first thing that comes to mind i think is the attackers deadline.
As far as i heard we don't know what his intentions are when he gets his coins later.
The fear of him dumping might have a major impact if you think about it rationally.
So far..
I think people have been playing with ETC feeling safe and secure knowing the attackers funds are not ready yet.
So just wait until that security is taken away and then we will see what is REALLY going to happen.
The hacker will never dump because it will make clear that he is on an exchange dumping, exchanges can find out who he is since you need to disclose your real ID to deal with big amounts of fiat money. Therefore, he will never dump, he will probably use several accounts and make small sells. He doesn't want to crash ETC too, but like I said before, above everything else he doesn't want to get caught.
