Launched just a year after Ethereum, its hard fork Ethereum Classic has been trying its best to keep up with its more famous brother and differentiate itself from it at the same time. Today Ethereum Classic is a smart contract network that can host and support decentralized apps (dApps). Sounds progressive, and yet Ethereum Classic wants to stay true to its roots by preserving original Ethereum blockchain — rumor has it, the network isn't even going to switch to Proof-of-Stake mechanism. Will it be able to maintain the balance? You can tell by watching its native coin, ETC. We've calculated its market cap by multiplying the number of coins in circulation by their price. The result can be seen on the chart — the line direction might provide an idea of how well the coin and its network are doing and if ETC will become a valuable addition to your portfolio.
