I think that the ETC coin scam. Today's announcement exchange BTC-E, to a weighty argument.
Well, if there's a scam, then it is BTC-E that is scamming their cheering customers in the name of fairness :-)
Because, whatever you think of ETC, it is about a 1/8 market share of the former ETH. It is like company XYZ is now split in company XY (ETH) and in company Z (ETC). Even if you think that company Z is a total failure, former XYZ shareholders are entitled to their share in Z which has market value. If a broker was holding your former XYZ shares, and he only gives you XY shares after, then he's putting the Z part in his pocket (whether you think that Z will fail or not, RIGHT NOW it has market value), and he's scamming you as a former XYZ holder.
That's more or less what BTC-E is doing with their customers, in the name of "not scamming them".
