Holy shit, gratz. Wanna, help me get my ETC back from Bitfinex? I try like once a year lol

Idk you seem confused. I'm not talking about how blockchain works. Of course the funds are there you sent them there, but that doesn't make it your allocated 0x for either polygon deposits or USDC deposits, and on the USDC deposit page it will say the CA of the specific USDC token they accept. This isn't some anomally you've ran into, its identical on most cex, they won't ''recover'' assets sent to the wrong 0x they have them designated for and if they do they charge a fee. That privkey doesn't belong to you, it belongs to them and you don't decide how they manage it, they do. Their hot and cold wallet setup may be per asset. They need someone at Revolut with the authority to access the root private key as their system isn't setup like your defi wallet where those low level staff can deal with every asset on one key on every compatible chain. Like I said, go to deposit, click on USDC, see what chain options they have, if they have Polygon, see what the CA is for the USDC they accept. I mean if they just gave you the privkey of that addy you could 'recover it' yourself, or wouldn't need to. This is why you should be using your own wallet, with your own keys on audied defi noncustodial DEX. I've lost alot of ETC this way on Bitfinex, they refused to return or credit it on ETC network, because I deposited it to a Callisto address which is a token riding on ETC. Its ETC, sitting on an address they monitor on ETC blockchain lol. Yours might not even be the right designated address for Polygon.

Crypto has been doing this since LTC was copy pasta’d from BTC and then DOGE copy pasta’d from LTC, and then “ETH” came along with a fresh copy pasta of BTC, but they didn’t do a good job copying the pasta, so they messed up and a whole bunch of people lost a lot of “money” so they decided to get rid of the concept of immutability, and muted the “ETH” chain, they did this by rebooting it and calling the one that fallowed actual block chain principles ETC while “ETH” some how went on to gain traction… some how… the rest they say is copy pasta.

pop-1988

This is seen already. An ETC wallet is an account. An ETH owner can obfuscate his holdings by running multiple unconnected accounts BTC is a bucket of coins. Each coin has its own address. Ownership of a hoard is obfuscated by design Registration of ownership would only work by State control - using a national ID number. Most people would comply. But, you're claiming decentralization, and you're implementing a centralized ownership register Bitcoin (and its dozens of copycats) is decentralized in its node network. There has never been any intention for decentralization of ownership

I’m 30. Have 120k in my 401k. Everything else in BTC. No kids. If I were older with kids I’d probably diversify a bit more. My current plan is to stop all 401k contributions, foregoing the company match and put it in BTC instead. Will likely do this until BTC starts climbing above 150k. Then I will go back to 401k investment. This is what works for me. Oh & Liquidate any long term stock that vests within the next year for BTC. I’m of the personal opinion that the US will be purchasing more BTC. Game theory, fomo from others, etc. and the US is desperately trying to push stable coin legislation backed by US Tbills to the rest of the world. This will bring in a ton of money into BTC. I don’t care what anyone else says as this is my personal belief. NFA. DYOR. ETC ETC.

The EF does not dictate the road map, anyone can create and submit an EIP and anyone validating blocks can choose to follow or ignore that change, just like bitcoin. It's why ETC exists.

hello 49845 USDT that I have at xeggex!!! In the end, what’s next? well nothing for 1 month.and I also have 4.5810 ETH etheruim I'm tired of waiting because being in the field of webmastering I can confirm that it is possible to restructure the database in a few hours and not in 1 month or it is still not valid.... I'm asking you to tell me if there is anyone who has recovered USDT (theter) or Etherium, or BTC bitcoin? We are almost 1 month old and still nothing, I don't understand why we have to wait so long?? I don't understand because I'm a webmaster and normally it's fast!!! .... very fast. But no one on the forum talks about this problem! You are all worried about $10/$50 for PEPE And I'm certainly not the only one to have sales positions in progress where it has completely disappeared, like for example 120,000 RVN ravencoin for me!!! 506645240 for NEXA. well yes I am the only one with a sales position? or has it disappeared? you have to tell me, because in this forum I have the impression of having people who panic over $10 and other cryptos worth $5000 but frankly we have to talk about very serious things with a financial amount greater than 10/100 USD THANK YOU FOR SHOWING YOUR EXPERIENCE.... USDT (ETH Network) USDT (TRON Network) ETC ETH BTC ????? Am I the only one in the world to get screwed out of $55,000? on USDT and ETH from Xeggex ????

Korean__Princess

Smart. I did something similar. Still kept some stock after shifting it around but definitely sold off quite a bit and keeping the cash in a HYSA for now. Left crypto entirely at ETC and BTC recent peaks, though. I just kept watching the news and what ppl said and the trends and figured, nope. Seems it was the right call. Do regret not just pulling all my stocks (except real-estate), but at least my losses for now are less than they would've been otherwise.

beautybeyondveneers

just wait. Sui to Solana is like Ethereum Classic to Ethereum—a spinoff from former devs who thought they could do it better. Unlike Ethereum’s fork, Sui was built from scratch, but Solana remains the dominant chain with real adoption. Just like ETH left ETC behind, Solana has the momentum, user base, and ecosystem to stay on top while Sui is still trying to prove itself.

xmronadaily

You should look up how ETH classic came into existence... In 2016, a major hack of a smart contract on Ethereum, known as The DAO, led to the theft of 3.6 million ETH. This event caused a significant debate within the Ethereum community about how to address the hack. Some members of the community supported rolling back the blockchain to negate the effects of the hack, while others opposed it. The decision to revert the blockchain to recover the stolen funds resulted in a hard fork, leading to the creation of Ethereum Classic (ETC).24 Those who disagreed with the decision to revert the blockchain continued on the original chain, which became Ethereum Classic, while other users upgraded to the new version of Ethereum. Ethereum Classic maintains the original, unaltered history of the Ethereum network, adhering to the principle that "code is law," meaning the rules and regulations of the decentralized network are enforced solely through its underlying code. Wouldn't be the first time ETH was rolled back... Muh immutability.

perceptual01

It’s happened before.. *coughs in ETC*

DonasAskan

Ethereum was rolled back after DAO hack, you might not been here when this happened. New one became ETH (rolled back blockchain) and the old one remained ETC.

Vartemis

By this logic, you are making the same argument against BTC due to the very existence of BCH. ETC is what the other user is talking about. ETC is to ETH as BCH is to BTC. Either you don't know what you're talking about or you are an Olympic level athlete based on these mental gymnastics.

darkjediii

They did it before when the chain split to ETC/ETH, probably no chance they do it this time.

You do realize if you've been paying attention to any of the conversations that's taken place (elon, DOGE hearing, ETC) you would understand that all roads are pointing TO adoption.

A few years ago there was a lot of hype around ETC. Not only was the average guy able to make a living by mining it, there was also a lot enthusiasm about digital owner ship back then. Much talk about how the Internet 3.0 would be built on the blockchain, how ETH would enable all kinds of apps, virtual worlds and virtual ownership. None of this has come to fruition. Nobody is using ETH for any meaningful, large project, besides the crypto space itself. Mining is over. All of these "digital land/world" projects have withered and died. All the hype is gone and the average user nowadays doesn't even know what the usecase for ETH really is. I'm sorry to tell you this but, there is a reason why ETH isn't pumping now when other coins are pumping. >If ETH is going to 0, then all other alt coins will go down as well. It is the 3rd most traded coin and 3 times more than 4th place, meaning there is no head-on-head-race going on at all! Measuring on market cap, its place 2. Yeah and that's what the future will be like. Alt coins have not gone anywhere. Most people nowadays know them for basically just being used for rug pull scams. Just like NFTs, people don't want them, they have a bad reputation and nothing kills a currency more than people not wanting it...

I can name quite a few actually. * Ethereum Classic has 2 attacks. January 2019 with 1.,1 million USD in double spend, and August 2020 where more than 4000 blocks were rewritten. The August 2020 attacks caused most exchanges to stop support for ETC. * Bitcoin Gold (BTG) was 51% attacked in may 2018 and had a double spend 18 Million. * Vertcoin had a successful double spend of $100,000 in December 2018 via 51% attack * GRIN currently has a single miner controlling > 50% of the network since 2020, causing a loss in value of 99.58% and dropping from most crypto exchanges in 2021. Going into why decentralizing the US Government's Ledger would be a bad idea: 1) There is no miner benefit to supporting this ledger. ETH/BTC have miner rewards that ensure there is enough compute to resist hostile attacked. Unless you want to also have the US government needlessly spend money rewarding people for protecting their ledger, there is no incentive for anyone to run a node to contribute to the stability of the network. 2) There is a much greater incentive to attack a blockchain that runs the entire US government, and therefore economy. This would cause an absolute havoc and potential destabilization of the US Government. 3) In comparison, to 51% Bitcoin, it would cost you a lot of money, and the final end result would be that bitcoin would be dead - and you would have lost a lot of money to do it. You would be much better off supporting bitcoin with that money than attacking it. Thus, there is no clear incentive for anyone to try an 51% attack a sufficiently large enough network that rewards miners. 4) based on current bitcoin hash rates & mining hardware cost, it would only take about $10 billion to execute a bitcoin 51% attack. There is no way that the US government could incentivize enough nodes to run it's network to protect it at even that level. Bitcoin is protected more so by the fact that there isn't a good incentive to spend $10B kill it than by the ability to do so. It would be rather trivial for a company like OpenAI to divert their compute to successfully attack BTC, and even more trivial for a rival state to do so. The incentive for killing the US Treasury blockchain would be the destabilization of its entire economy.

XRP is a trademark owned by Ripple. BCH lost because bitcoin is actually decentralized and the users run the network. ETC (the real eth) lost because its centralized and users had no ability to resist the will of the pre miners. Exact same thing with Ripple/XRP. The final nail in the coffin is the unavoidable fact that any fork that Ripple doesnt endorse will have their massive pre-mined supply dumped and destroy the price.

>If you wanna give up better tech just to "stay loyal" or whatever, then you're turning blockchain into religion, and you're no better than the Bitcoin maxis. What is your technical background that you can confidently say Cardano is better tech? And if it is truly the best tech, do you honestly believe that the reason it sees such little adoption is because people are too loyal? Wouldn't Cardano, as one of the oldest smart contract platforms, be a beneficiary of that loyalty rather than a victim? I would think if anything, loyalty would be beneficial for older platforms and harmful to newer ones. I'm glad you mentioned Hydra, because it's a great example of this. Touted so highly but all it has accomplished is a glorified stress test showing what it's *potential* is... except the stress test wasn't without problems, and if it was truly a useful piece of tech, why are you having to show it off with a stress test when it's been usable for over a year now? Shouldn't people just be organically using it if it's as good as advertised? Why hasn't it reached that potential? Everyone tells me how great Cardano is, but nothing I've ever seen has shown me that greatness. They say staking is so much better, but people don't choose chains based on the ease of staking, and liquid staking and account abstraction are whittling away at the marginal benefit that provides. They say it's the most decentralized platform, but time and time again we've seen that lesser decentralized platforms are still sufficiently decentralized(as we've yet to have a major security incident with any L1's regarding decentralization, outside of ETC 51% attack IIRC) and when push comes to shove, users prefer those chains provided they perform better in other areas like speed, cost, or throughput. It's also a ongoing process, that depends on a lot of variables, so the current most decentralized chain doesn't necessarily stay that way. If Cardano was as great as people say it is, I'd know it without having to be told. Maybe it's just that I value things much differently than other people, but the market generally seems to agree with me, so I think my priorities are in the right place.

I actually just thought about something, there's been so many projects here shilled over the years. Has anyone ever stopped to think that the cycle changes over time, and many projects will die and won't recover? Shouldn't we be looking into new projects that weren't shilled here before that might even do a 10x (or 100x) during an alt season? Examples of alts shilled here over the years : Eth, XVG, Raiblocks (Nano), Xtrabytes, Bomb, Harmony One, Cro, Nullex, BCH, Matic, Shiba Inu, Dot, Aave, Vechain, Kas, Grt, ICP, Nexo, Cel, ETC, EOS, Jasmy, XTZ, BSV, Antshares (Neo), Mana, Ampleforth, Dash, Yearn Finance, Sushi, Cartesi, Celr, Bitconnect (before it became a meme), Banano, Syscoin, Cosmos, Steem, etc

You answered your own question. Sell your ETH, buy ETC instead

Uther-Lightbringer

Here Lies "Better Coins Will Dominate" ADA, POLK, ETC, LINK, Etc etc. The list of other smart contracts platforms who had "better tech" that have failed to ever come close to capturing ETHs market share and usage is very long. The list of decentralized smart contracts platforms to overtake ETH is the same list as "Crypto currencies worth $1,000,000 per coin"...*hint, the list is empty* This is the same fallacy that has led to people looking for the next BTC forever too. BTC as a technology is shit, it's slow, it's expensive, the mining costs alone are positively insane, let alone the environmental impact. And yet, no coin holds a CANDLE to BTC. Face facts, were probably still another 5-10 years at a minimum before things like technology actually start to matter.

What coin is ETC?

forsenbois21

ETC,ATOM my only 2 hoping to do 5X-9X

NationalBitcoin

I appreciate you taking the time to explain that. I wasn’t around at the time. But I remember the Bitcoin headlines. As a beginner in 2020 it was hard to differentiate coins from stocks, and I believe most come in and see Bitcoin and cheaper price than 100k and think that’s me. At least that’s how I saw BCH and ETC. I saw them as being associated with their main projects before realizing it was entirely an altcoin. So I think there’s some deception behind it also. It’s an interesting period and I would have liked to seen some of the Reddit posts. It sounds like there was almost some kind of Bitcoin civil war in 2018.

dasmonty

You wanted to buy 1 BTC, that implies to me that you want to buy actual BTC and keep it in self custody. With skills I mean that you get some knowledge about how bitcoin works on the technical side like how you do transactions, what is a wallet, self custody, how to create a wallet, how to keep your seed phrase safe. In my opinion you should feel very compfortable with when you want to handle several $100k. Its not an option to hold that big of an amount on an exchange. An exchange is what the name of it says, its not a bank to hold your funds. If you actually just want to buy the ETC, you don't buy 1 whole BTC, and will not own BTC. The asset manager just ows you $$$.

the hacker offered developers a bribe to validate his transactions if they stuck, so you know, both sides had a financial incentive. The developers werent the ones who lost money either, it was investors unrelated to developers; the devs had the incentive to stick with ETC as I mentioned.

JesusofRave007

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/s/DWZtP6DnHl What you talk about supports my argument in fact. Only reason ETC failed is because ETH development solely relied on ETH foundation and their influence, hence proving it's far more centralized.

JesusofRave007

Yeah it was fork to roll back the change. ETC is the OG chain. But never a fork of bitcoin became the real the deal lol. Your argument makes no sense

nugymmer

Way too high. BTC high would be somewhere between 120-130k, ETH would be somewhere around 6-7k. The decent alts (the ones that actually have something going for them, including the decent meme coins) will scale accordingly and are usually a leveraged play on the BTC/ETC. When ETH goes up, alts go up. But it depends on BTC dominance. For alts to go up you need BTC dominance to fall. Most alts are complete and utter shit, so I don't see anyone making a fortune on them. It depends whether you get lucky. Don't buy shit and you won't feel like shit. Buy only decent ones with something going for them. When you know, you know. If people would just stick to the right shit, they'd improve their lives, but sadly too many buy garbage and then wonder why their life either turns to crap or stays that way.

Thank you, I used to follow the 2017 to 2021 equivalent of this, but hadn't thought about this cycle yet, although it is still quite early. Here's the snapshot from the week ETH hit its 2017-18 cycle high. [https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20180114/](https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20180114/) Which alts hit a new ATH in 2021? number 2 ETH **All-time high** Nov 16, 2021 **$4,891.70** number 5 ADA Sep 02, 2021 **$3.10** number 6 LTC May 09, 2021 **$412.96** number 13 XMR May 07, 2021 **$517.62** number 14 TRON hit its ATH a few days ago, but didn't match its 2017 high in 2021. number 16 ETC May 06, 2021 **$176.16** I bought a lot of the top 20 coins on the snapshot during the bear market from 2018 to 2020 and was able to sell them at a profit even though they didn't make a new ATH. Still hodling my ETH, ADA, and LTC, but hope to take profits in at least the last two this time around.

deano1856

Not a concise advisor, but I’d buy $10-15K in BTC to have at least 0.1 BTC, then $20K in ETC, $20K in LTC and hold onto the rest for when the market dips.

deano1856

ETH is near its ATH. I’m all for it soaring, but the safer bet is to put it into LTC. ETC could easily drop to $1,200 if we go bear, but LTC would only drop to its trademark $69. And if we go parabolic, the LTC upside is to hit or exceed its ATH of $420.

Everyone here hates this coin (and we know how Inversing the general sentiment here pans out), but ETC is due for a good run right now I think. It just surpassed its March 2024 high today, ETH is picking up, and its still far from its ATH. It’s my wild card for this cycle.

I'd argue that gold wasn't "chosen" so much as prehistoric humans liked shiny things, which established demand for it long before anything concrete was known about how much of the stuff actually existed, and long before conscious "choices" were made to codify its role as a store of value (and long, *long* before other uses, e.g. in engineering, began to add some practical utility to its "ooo shiny!!" value proposition). Even today, the supply is subject to a non-zero chance of unexpected inflation, e.g. if some motherlode is revealed by advances in geological exploration, or we figure out how to mine an asteroid. But to your point, we can make a perfect facsimile of a dollar bill, or a famous sports card, or the Mona Lisa. Will those copies be worth the same such that we can say the originals "aren't rare/valuable"? No, because they **aren't** "the same in every way"--their value stems not only from their physical appearance or the materials that comprise them, but also from the context and narrative that surrounds them. A perfect copy of the Mona Lisa might be identical in every measurable way to the original, yet wouldn't be worth the same because it wasn't painted by Devinci's hand, didn't live through the same history, etc. A photocopy of a dollar bill wouldn't be endorsed by the military/economic capacity of the issuing state. The authenticity of the "story" is what ultimately matters, and authenticity is ultimately defined by broad agreement and acknowledgment--that is, consensus. If your assertion were true then there'd be no way of distinguishing between BCH and BTC, or ETH and ETC, and they'd be worth the same. They aren't because BCH and ETC lack the context to be supported by broad, educated, majority consensus as the *authentic* versions of their kind. They have value in their own rights, just as forgeries of the Mona Lisa can be skilfully wrought and carry compelling narratives of their own--but they aren't THE accepted item. So yes, Bitcoin can be copied infinitely, and the copies would be accurate facsimiles. But they wouldn't be supported by consensus, and they wouldn't carry within them the value proposition of the most secure chain, etc. (You can absolutely take issue with those value propositions, and there are certainly tons of cases where speculation has led to basically worthless coins being pumped. Those are valid lines of criticism, but they're separate from the basic question of whether copies are inherently worth the same as the original, which is all I'm addressing here.)

From a mining point of view ETC is strong and consistent. It’s not going anywhere , I’m not sure from a trading POV.

I’m still holding the bag on ETC since 2021. Only down 5% now, can’t wait to get my money back. Take that for what it’s worth.

Let’s go ETH and ETC

ETC has been outperforming eth the past month, and has around 1% of ETH’s market cap, so it’s possible once retail starts to really FOMO and go for “cheaper ETh.” I have some ETC because I’m confident we’ll see that again later in the cycle

hmmm lets see if XLM the XRP clone outpaced XRP in the pump last 2 weeks.... Maybe ETC will outpace ETH in the next two weeks pump?

Which countries are actually using crypto currency? Do you have any real data about this happening? Or did you read those puff pieces about crypto in third world countries and assume it was a widespread thing? You don't have any examples of that happening because it isn't. You see one article from some crypto hypeman about Ukrainians using BTC and treat it like it's a widespread thing. Here in reality, the number of people using crypto as an actual currency is so small that it's a rounding error. And BTC and ETH are only reliable so long as you continue using the dominant fork. Go ask the people on ETC how their money is fairing. Or someone on any of the non dominant BTC forks. Crypto isn't a currency. It cannot function as one and it never will. The best case scenario for it is digital gold where it serves as a store of value. But the fundamental structure of it makes using it as a currency unviable. For fucks sake, most cryptobros are actively hoping it experiences massive deflation because you're too stupid to realize why that's a bad thing.

But the same ERC-20 seed phrase should then also give you the same public key across ETH, ARB, OP, POLYGON, etc. networks. Maybe even ETC. So messing the networks up shouldnt be as bad. Briding tokens even makes use of this. If you bridge from ETH main to ARB or whatever you will recieve whatever your bridged on the same address but in the other network.

Hmmm I bought for 15,000 in 2020 and have always heard the scared talk of crashing, the you should sell at 30,000 then 40,000 and I’m nuts for not selling ETC. I have a plan and that plan is don’t try to time the market with selling and buying. Long term 10 years will usually be in your favor. I guess I’m doing ok! 5 years to go and not changing course! Good luck to all no matter what your strategy, plan or goal is.

Are you fucking serious?? I really really hope your kidding. ETC?? Why?? Why do you hate money?? This is some of the worst crypto instinct I have ever seen, and we're on Reddit so that is saying something.

I guess if you could find a way to short ETC you should do that because I just got 300+ of those!

What if I have like 1500$ worth of BTC, and another 600 in ETC and smaller coins? Did a pandemic buy a few years ago all in Coinbase. A few hundred are on Robin Hood. Is it worth the hassle to move that little amount?

cryptoking87

I did lol. I switched the BTC over to ETC 🤣

cryptoking87

It's not as bad as you think. I'm indirectly backing ETH not directly. I got ETC instead which is not obviously linked to ETH in anyway but usually when ETH pumps sooner or later ETC pumps. So there you have it.

This happen to me a few years ago with ETC, sold all my stock and bought 30k worth of it, It wasn’t doing so well -20% and ETH was running so I sold and jump onto that train and a week later ETC moon 500% from $30 to 150$ in 24 hours.

cryptoking87

I know that's sarcastic but I just switched the BTC to ETC at 3000 sats.

cryptoking87

I also sold LRC and Algo the same day I sold the ETC both of them have since doubled.

cryptoking87

Thanks I converted the said BTC to ETC now 😆

This is how you know another crash is coming. Until you shake out all these idiotic coins, it means BTC, ETC etc are also supported by this idiotic speculation.

Do you mean LTC BCH ETC ?
