Ethereum Classic's Fork Lift

Long
KRAKEN:ETCUSD   Ethereum Classic
Ethereum Classic (ETC) has had a great start to 2021 with the price rising 600% YTD. The hash rate of the ETC network has been rising steadily since the three year low as seen in early September last year. The Price has followed suit from the off in 2021. This has resulted in making the network more attractive to miners which in turn increases the security of the project. We went long on 07 February and are +373% in a little over two months.
Ethereum Classic is a global, open-source blockchain platform for decentralized applications (DAPPS), powered by smart contracts and has its own native digital currency ie. ETC. Ethereum Classic is actually the original legacy chain of the Ethereum network. It emerged after a contentious hard fork on the Ethereum blockchain in July 2016 after a disagreement over reverting the blockchain to reverse a hacking. The hacking involved DAO or the decentralized autonomous organization, which had raised $150 million in an initial coin offering months earlier. Whereas ETC did not revert the chain, ETH followed another course. Both the coins support smart contracts, but ETH has taken a performance-based path in its 2.0 rollout as it moves to a Proof of Stake model. Ethereum Classic is a continuation of the original Ethereum blockchain - the classic version preserving untampered history; free from external interference and subjective tampering of transactions.

Greyscale Investments, established by Digital Currency Group in 2013 have created 14 Digial Asset Trusts including one for Ethereum Classic. The ETC trust is now the third largest digital asset trust on Greyscale's books: tokenview.com/en/Grayscale

Ethereum Classic has a circulating supply of 130 Million ETC coins and a max supply of 211 Million. Binance is currently most active market trading it.

We spotted an opportunity in early February as a result of the rising hash rate which had been in evidence over the previous months and with the price having retraced 420% from its all time high, we decided to take the plunge. Today we see a 18% pullback in the price from its all time high set just 14 hours ago. After the recent rally, this pullback may see a few sniffer dogs arrive on the scene. Will you be one of them?
