This below linked article suggests that Ethereum's recent price drop could be due to stolen coins, and that could be true... but I am thinking that Ethereum has kind of been in for a drop, and any excuse would be sufficient when confidence in Ethereum is likely dropping anyhow.

By the way, I had been thinking that ETC was going to hold a bit better of its own against ETH, and in recent months sure both ETH and ETC have been dropping in value (and maybe even partly due to rising BTC prices) - however, in the past several days, ETC has been holding its own a bit better to ETC and even rose a tiny bit while ETH has dropped considerably.

Man I'm just surprised how unequal the ETH fork distribution ended up.
ETC (technically the real and original ETH) now $2
ETH (technically an alt of ETH) $50
Shows so much of this is about marketing and which one the crowd believes will rise most in value. A distant, distant second would be the whole smart contracts thing.
Still, ETC has a mcap of 200m. However, its reddit is extremely slow. They claim to have a chat platform that is far more active, but even that is very slow too. I mean the Dogecoin subreddit was far more active in past times, but it's still active. ETC's reddit reads like that of a dead coin. The responses of the ETC community in the chat channel was that the ETC community is smaller but are constantly working on it rather than talking shit about it, which is a fair comment. But, BTC has devs constantly working on it and that still manages regular posts on reddit.
The inactivity of the subreddit concerns me a little, but I see ETC as maybe undervalued given that it is the original ETH. What do you guys think? Easier for $2 to go to $20 than BTC $1000 to $10,000. Heck, DOGE has doubled inevitably (but I did nothing) because it went so damn low. SIACOIN was once destined for certain death at extremely low satoshi prices, now I look on cmap and it's still actually alive and has made multibagger gains for some people. And that is definitely just another random shitcoin.
"ETH" as it is now named is around $50 with a $4b mcap, I think that's overvalued especially given how long it has been around vs BTC. lowbudgetballer, I'd take my profits now, not advice but if that was me I'd be happy with the gains.

I wouldn't go into ETC, it seems most like a pump-and-dump that JJG talks about.
Why would you want to invest in something that has almost no fundamental, inherent value on its own? The development team has moved over to ETH and are focused on that. Can you run the same dApps on ETC, which is really the purpose of ETH?
The price seems to be purely driven by speculative nature, and people parking extra coins somewhere else temporarily. Sure it's coupled with ETH and if ETH doubles I guess ETC will rise. But I wouldn't be in something that I'm not bullish on it's fundamental underlying value.

Even if you ignore the pump and dump sentence that I wrote I just don't see fundamental value. I don't invest in things I don't believe have fundamental value.
BTC has network effect, pioneer, store of value
ETH has dApps, development team, fast transactions
Various other coins have privacy features that make them attractive
Just so I understand your perspective: you wouldn't categorize ETC as a pump and dump, but you would for ETH?

Aren't the same things possible on ETC as on ETH? Since ETC is the original ETH?

JJG why do you not consider ETC a pump and dump?

I would be looking to get into it at this point. It is the original ETH after all but the devs migrating to new ETH doesn't sound too good.

Bringing this over from the Bitcoin discussion topic, I think that Ethereum is the alternative go to alt-coin

Perhaps more money is going into alts than would have gone into BTC because of the uncertainty around BTC at the moment. BTC is showing strength by holding at these high levels, but it's not making 100%, 200% gains like ETC or LTC. I think the whole BU thing would have to be solved before serious new money comes in for that.

Only ETH and a handful of alt coins aren't dropping today. How many are looking to get into some alt coins on this dip? Doing my research and thinking of picking 5-10 long shots to put $50 to $100 each on and holding. Any missing from this list I should be looking into or in your opinion I shouldn't waste my time? Am I looking too "mainstream" for my long shots?
BAT
GNT
DASH
STRAT
STEEM
SC
FLO
LSK
GNO
FCT
NLG
BRK
Also, what's everyone's opinion on Taas? Is there something better to get into that would be like a S&P 500 mutual fund of cryptos??

Decent list. Add BNCR and UBQ.
