Today I want to market a token to everyone.

In 2016, a decentralized autonomous organization (The DAO) on Ethereum was hacked due to a vulnerability in its smart contract, resulting in a loss of approximately 3.6 million ETH. To address this issue, the Ethereum community rolled back transactions through a hard fork, restoring the stolen funds and creating a new chain (ETH), while the original chain, which insisted on 'code is law' and refused to modify transaction records, became Ethereum Classic (ETC).

ETC continues to use proof of work (PoW), with miners competing to validate transactions through computational power. This contrasts with Ethereum 2.0's shift to proof of stake (PoS). Despite a smaller ecosystem, it still supports the development of applications like DeFi and NFTs. Some merchants accept ETC as a means of payment, but its popularity is limited. It consistently ranks among the top 30-50 cryptocurrencies (as of 2025, with a market cap of several billion dollars). It has an independent development team and receives support from institutions like Coinbase and Grayscale, but its activity level is lower than that of ETH.

ETC has withstood the challenges of the past decade and is about to enter the challenges of the next decade; its current price is 17.15, and it could stabilize above 40 dollars in the near future. $ETC
