The Classic vs Core thing is nuts.  I just feel that both the Bitcoin and Ethereum communities can't agree on things and it will get confusing for people and will further baffle the normal every day person.  I hope this doesn't happen in this economy (Steem / Steemit)  I just upvoted you!  I just posted steemit's first pool meeting where I talk about my initial thoughts about it.  Check it out!  https://steemit.com/steem/@brianphobos/first-pool-meeting-on-steemit-initial-thoughts-and-advice-from-someone-who-has-made-money-online-since-2008

I sold my ETC last night at for a nice profit because I saw ETH started to go back up again. The only reason I will buy ETC is if ETH goes down. If the ETH token goes up I don't want anything to do with Ethereum

thank you for the update !!!

This was a really good synopsis of the current situation.   Thanks for that!   

Last night I made a post partially about the long-term implications of replay attacks on ETC and how the only way to mitigate that threat (if ETC is to have the same kind of long term functionality as ETH) might be for ETC itself to hard fork (as recently highlighted by Vlad Zamfir on twitter).   

What are your thoughts on that?   Do you think the current short term support of ETC is overlooking that long term issue?

Maaaan... I started watching this video and was like "uh, why have I seen this already?"
Then I realized I saw it on YouTube FIRST!

Great update and insight as usual man, thanks for putting the work in and sharing with the rest of us.

I'm surprised it has managed to hang on. The FUD has really gone through the roof on ETC. Just goes to show, how easily a few people can sway the minds of masses. 

Watching the video now, keep it up, keep posting!

thanks for the update... here was my reaction:

I don't think the Ethereum was 'split' between ETH and ETC.  I just think people got the equivalent amount of ETH in ETC at the time of the fork.

nice video

It's in the exchange's interest to offer ETC as it can be traded!  Any coin that can be traded will make the exchanges money.  ETC will die out.  No need to get the SEC involved.  That's the last thing that needs to happen right now.

You know the ether wars are making things fun again.  I'm supporting ETC purely because I like supporting the underdog - that's why I've switched to mining it.  You give a good explanation for newbies by the way.  The Poloniex add was a definite surprise.  Also that Chinese guy who tried to DDOS ETC won't succeed because people like me won't let him.

Also weird question - what are you using to trim your beard?  Sorry to be weird but I've yet to find anything that works well for me - the trimmers I've tried always either leave a mess or rip my skin up.  There could be a lucrative post in beard trimming advice (weirder things have happened).

Anyway I look forward to your future post beard or crypto related.
