lol. It didn't "kill" ETH... it just became ETC. This was also in 2016 when smart contracts were relatively new. Monero just reorged 18 blocks.... in 2025. Dump your bags now kiddo. While you still can. All the r/cryptocurrency posts in the world aren't going to get you green.

Too much diversification, stick with just the big caps like BTC and ETC Anyways, when people tell you to diversify they're telling you to put your money into different asset classes, not into different loads of shitcoins

More bitcoin and ditch LTC, ETC and BCH. Those are all irrelevant forks

- The DAO Hack Bailout: When a hacker exploited a massive project, the EF essentially hit the "undo" button on the blockchain with a hard fork to save the money, shattering the "code is law" promise and leading to the creation of Ethereum Classic (ETC) by those who didn't agree. - "Decentralized" lol: The EF and a small group of core devs still call all the shots, making it feel more like a company than a global computer. - Dumping on retail: They sold a ton of ETH at market tops to fund themselves, showing some serious paper hands while everyone else was told to HODL. Glacial dev speed: It took them years to ship The Merge while gas fees were murdering everyone and faster L1s were eating their lunch.

Crazy gamble but I’m feeling ETH is about to run the next few months, as such, I have a sneaky suspicion we see another ETC 5-10x moment to play catch up like last cycle. Allocated 50% of my stack to this play 🤞🏼

Stocks. I'd go with Mara Digital Holdings , also Compass Pathways, but that's a siff story. For crypto, idk I don't fo for shitcoins for quick $. I still like eth even ar all time highs. Btc, obviously, sol, but if wait for it to drop off some. I also have some In ENA,STX,ETC,XRP.

allstarmode1

well I have mental confusion? "The Financial Conduct Authority regulates business, not retail investors. It is in theory there to make sure these businesses meet minimum standards and don’t screw their customers over. " right? ", but if you just want to buy Bitcoin directly then you probably wouldn’t buy one." right so I don't need to buy an ETC? "A business that isn’t regulated in the UK can sell you Bitcoin, but if it isn’t in some way registered or regulated by the FCA it can’t approach you - say, with an advert." maybe I don't fully understand your third point here? \* Well - for example with 'strike' UK website - am I able just to make an account and buy bitcoin and its legal (is one simple ways of putting things - right, simple question) "xchanges are now registered or regulated in the UK, and they get that registration or licence from the FCA. " are you saying that an exchange like 'strike' could automatically already have done it for myself (be registered/regulated - so doesn't mean I need to do extra things?) "assumed you were more informed about how financial services work, that is why they wrote what they did. They are completely correct, they just didn’t realise that you needed a lot more background knowledge" OK - yeah I have limited background knowledge about bitcoin, but am looking to learn about it best I can - on these sub reddits and stuffs - right. - Yeah we should all aim to be kind, right.

I think we are still in the gold rush era where most dont understand Bitcoin, therefore it's still such a small asset relative to everything else yet accessible to the world's population. This means it's much easier to move due to its size & lack of understanding, making it volatile. In this phase, I would just focus on stacking and building habits that lead to financial discipline. Look at more regular habits like installing an app that rounds up payments and invests those roundups in either an index, individual stocks, or Bitcoin. Im in the UK and use Moneybox, which rounds up my payments into a bunch of ETF's including Nasdaq, AI & Robotics ETC, Semiconductor ETF, Cyber Security ETF. On payday, make sure to stack more bitcoin. I also use a Chrome Extension called [Bitcoin Opportunity Cost Calculator](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bitcoin-opportunity-cost/epodapgbhhhpfjjacddakebjaejpfleo?authuser=0&hl=en), so whenever im browsing and considering buying something, it shows me the amount of BTC it would cost me and what that future BTC would be worth, putting purchases into perspective. I think when it is understood and has mass adoption, its volatility will come down drastically as it will have the liquidity and size to absorb most orders. At this stage, living on Bitcoin will be much clearer.

FlagFootballSaint

Soooo right now I am holding 60k in BTC and 50k in ETH and stand at +100% overall I read the following today within a span of two hours: ETC going 100x BTC going 1.3m  If both materializes I will end up owning the equivalent of USD 50,000,000 in ETH and just frigging peanuts USD 750,000 in BTC? What poor man’s shit is this BTC actually??? I don‘t want to die a poor man - I am going to immediately roll everything over to ETH and retire with USD 100,000,000 Should be enough for me. I usually don‘t spend much anyways

na3than

It varies by ETF. IIRC some allow themselves one or two business days to catch up with inflows and outflows. You'll have to read each ETC's prospectus for details.

Bitcoin looses dominance and holds, ETC gains, then alts follow. It’s a pretty standard cycle.

well i am happy man and will be making some happy kids / grandkids i was watching eth yesterday and promised myself if it hits a new ATH i will cash out all profits - and i DID. have held those ETH since they were double figures, now just sorting taxes out, and will be opening a nest egg for the grandkids and will be be booking a very nice holiday for all the family so we can enjoy together. I am getting on now and want to make some more core memories rather than waiting for all this 10x bollocks, I still have 100ETC left from 300 and some BTC so im not quite done yet :)

johnpn1

Nah, it happened on the ETC chain and it's still there on the ETC chain. Like Bitcoin, Ethereum also has a consensus mechanism to fork

mpanning

AMP and ETC really waiting for them to pop

Kike328

they? who is they? all the community? all the miners? all the developers? all the users? all the investors? the DAO decision was the way to go, just look the state of ETC…

ScatMonkeyPro

Homie. Are you watching what is happening? ETH is going to essentially base layer the entire world economy. They have already been working on it for years. Treasury companies are sprouting up left and right and reducing available supply. Solana XRP Link ETC are too late. They have not been developing the technology at the same rate as ETH. ETH now gets to enjoy first mover advantage, and their moat is extremely DEEP. But hey go ahead and pass on it. You'll only be giving up a generational opportunity. Who cares?!

fan_of_hakiksexydays

ETC got multiple 51% attacks. And it's still doing well today. Even still a top market cap coin. It's not something that means the death of a coin and can be a brief unconsequential event. But in the case of Monero it's just FUD. Qubic has fudged numbers in what appears to be a bluff.

Rare_Fan1871

Any hope for ETC?

GenderJuicy

I won't believe the bullrun has begun until ETC does the same

Exactly. I will feel excitement when ETC hits 10k, 15k

jventura1110

The only thing that matters is which chain is canonical. If the majority of users find ETC canonical and valuable, they would use it, but it's dead. Users have decided ETH is the canonical chain. "Originality" of a chain is secondary to whether or not users attribute value to it.

BlazingHypogrif

NEAR, AVAX, ADA, ETC - These ones still didn't show any serious moves, but have a huge potential. BCH, LTC already got +40%. Invested 2 months ago btw

YogurtCloset3335

You're a fool, the total cumulative proof of work required to continue a blockchain is calculated at A GIVEN TIME. You can't just come along and say "Oh look chain A has more cumulative proof of work than chain B after 6 months". It doesn't work like that. The fact that the ETC chain exists and is still mined is absolute proof that ETH forked, and the reason it forked was becasue ETC has more cumulative PoW. It's like an axiom but you want to argue and try to put me down about you being retarded. Bye

epic_trader

>Jesus man, you can't accept it. The post-ETH DAO fork is a DIFFERENT BLOCKCHAIN than ETC and has DIFFERENT CONSENSUS RULES from ETC I can accept anything that is based on fact and can be verified, but none of your claims are true, you don't seem to know what you're talking about, and this very point you're making now doesn't relate to whether there was a rollback. >(I concur it is a bit esoteric how that fork was accomplished) I bet it would seem that way if you don't understand how this works, yes. >ETC has the most cumulative proof of work for any smart contract platform, look it up on wiki or whatever You're wrong and I don't have to look it up on a wiki or whatever, I've literally provided you with proof in the reply above. If you were a smarter and more honest person, you would look at the links, accept that I'm correct, take the L and move on. But I don't think you have the feintest idea what you're talking about, and you're probably incapable of actually verifying this for yourself, so I'm going to take your hand and explain exactly how you can use these links to prove which chain has more cumulative work and which chain is the *canonical* chain. The links above are from 2 blockchain explorers, one showing Ethereum blocks and one showing ETC blocks after the DAO fork which happened at block 1920000. Up until block 1920000 the 2 chains are identical because well, they didn't split. The amount of PoW is identical and that's why in block 1920000 for both blockchains, the "difficulty" and "total difficulty" are identical. In order to find the difficulty level on the ETC blockchain explorer, you have to click on "View details". "Difficulty" represents how much hash power mined the last block and is adjusted after every single block to make sure the next block is found after an average of 15 seconds. With more hashpower the difficulty goes up, with less hashpower it drops. "Total difficulty" is simply the combined difficulty number from every previous block. Because both chains share a history, it's trivial to prove which chain has the most cumulative proof of work because the "total difficulty" number is going to reflect exactly that. Immediately following the chain split, the chain where the most miners went will have the high total difficulty number. So figuring out who is correct in this discussion and which chain is the "original" according to your own definition, boils down to recognizing which of these 2 numbers are bigger. The higher number = more cumulative PoW. 39,495,109,617,178,927,573 - ETC total difficulty at block 1920100 39,497,170,367,613,719,972 - Ethereum total difficulty at block 1920100 Can you tell which of these 2 numbers is bigger or do I have to explain it to you?

OzGaymer

And so Ethereum’s huge majority consensus for the fork as the main chain and ETC being the fake minority consensus is also the same then. lol can’t pick and choose when it applies.

YogurtCloset3335

Jesus man, you can't accept it. The post-ETH DAO fork is a DIFFERENT BLOCKCHAIN than ETC and has DIFFERENT CONSENSUS RULES from ETC (I concur it is a bit esoteric how that fork was accomplished). If you use your brain cell a little more, you'll figure out that ETC WOULDN'T EXIST if the ETH chain without the DAO hack transactions had more proof of work. ETC has the most cumulative proof of work for any smart contract platform, look it up on wiki or whatever. Reason is most smart contract platforms are just L2s for ETH or premined shitcoins.

OzGaymer

It isn’t. ETC themselves have rolled back and forked multiple times to save themselves from catastrophe and 51% attacks. And ETH is literally still tied to the genesis block through the chain. You can’t claim that it’s no longer original unless they literally stopped keeping records from genesis. There’s a fork sure, but which chain is the “main continuity” between forks is determined by majority. ETC continuity ended multiple times across different forks and it’s a minority split from the main ethereum chain.

jekpopulous2

ETC, BSV, BTG, XVG, LCC, VTC, HANA, FTC, & ZenCash have all been successful 51% attacked. What do they all have in common? They’re all proof of work chains with low hashrate. This is precisely why no new chains use POW. No POS chain (that I know of) has ever been 51% attacked but for a lot of these smaller POW chains all it takes is for a giant mining pool to flip a switch and take it over. Qubic isn’t even that powerful…. Foundry, AntPool, & F2Pool all have enough hashing power to 51% attack Monero tomorrow if they wanted to… they just don’t do it for obvious reasons.

Objective_Digit

Them going to gave it a "future". ETC was doomed because of that despite sticking to the principles of unstoppable applications.

Kike328

you admitted it by yourself, Bitcoin is supposed to have 21 million coins, but the implementation fucked it up and programmed it incorrectly. So your “not true” is just cope. The dao was supposedly to safely hold the value of the investors but instead was programmed incorrectly and the majority decided to fix the bug. If you’re against it then, just use ETC, but most people back then and nowadays approves the change, literally why consensus exists

El_Flaco_666

It might seem ridiculous, but take a look at LTC on a monthly chart. Then draw trend lines on both the lows and the highs for the past 2 cycles. Yes, it's a dino coin. Yes, it's not a high-adoption token like Solana. Yes, the price action this cycle is boring AF. But it does have a large whale community, and historically they pump it every cycle. I won't be a bit surprised if it reaches its ATH ($420), provided that BTC.d does eventually drop to 50% or below. Personally, that's my low-risk safe-bet bag. Remember, there were a bunch of ancient coins that nobody thought would pump, but did (ETC, BCH, XVG, SC, and a few others). Probably want you're looking for; a more reliable chance at a return than BUTTCOIN or whatever.

epic_trader

Doesn't matter how many voted in an unofficial carbon vote. If you want to see how people actually voted, look at how many people continued to mine and use ETC vs how many continued to use and mine Ethereum, that's the actual vote and where you find the social consensus.

epic_trader

> The ETH chain with the DAO hack transactions had more cumulative proof of work behind it. You're lying bro. The DAO fork happened at 1920000. Look at the difficulty on both chains https://etc.blockscout.com/block/1920000 https://etherscan.io/block/1920000 https://etc.blockscout.com/block/1920010 https://etherscan.io/block/1920010 https://etc.blockscout.com/block/1920100 https://etherscan.io/block/1920100 If ETC had more miners or more cumulative work, why is the difficulty going up faster on Ethereum?

YogurtCloset3335

> >Then why the fuck would you bring it up and call ETC the "original"? I highlighted it for you, read it again. Is ETC mined still? Yes. So I fear it's you who is confused. > which chain had more cumulative proof of work behind it, ETC or ETH? The ETH chain with the DAO hack transactions had more cumulative proof of work behind it. Which then became the ETC chain when ETH was rolled back to reverse the DAO hack, violating the consensus rules on the longest chain. Thus ETC is the original ETH blockchain. Whatever hard forks happened in ETH before then are irrelevant because the old forks don't exist anymore. A block is only orphaned when the chain which contains the rival block gets longer than whatever chain contains the orphan. Thus you won't know which block is orphaned for a little while. Typically miners will make a snap judgement and try hard not to mine on an orphan chain. But again, they won't know which of 2 blocks is going to get orphaned for a little while. So once again you're throwing out red herrings

NorskKiwi

The chain was effectively down from when the DAO hack happened till it relaunched at the chosen block? Call me out here if I'm wrong, but I'm just calling it like I understand it. When a protocol upgrade is passed it's a soft fork, that doesn't necessitate downtime. Deciding to launch a new chain from a certain block hight is a hard fork, the original chain from with Ethereum came is now called Ethereum Classic - ETC.

epic_trader

>Were the hackers coined rolled back yes or no. you can play semantics all you like, you're just wrong tho. You're the one who's playing semantics and you're the one who's wrong and that's why you're not substantiating anything you're saying. There was an irregular state change, the chain didn't roll back, transactions didn't get reverted, blocks didn't get reverted. > ETH was mutable at that time on demand and decided to censor whoever disagreed with the centralized management. What is this conspiracy nonsense. The community decided in an extraordinary case to honor the intentionen of the smart contract that was exploited to implement an irregular state change, for the first and only time ever. Ethereum was brand new, smart contracts were not well understood and the community wasn't that mature. But they were mature enough to find a pragmatic solution to a difficult situation and learned from the lesson and never repeated it again. The fact is that essentially all the users and all the miners and all the devs agreed with this decision. No one was getting censored, there was no "centralized management". Anyone who didn't agree were free to use ETC, but as we all know, no one did, so it wasn't as controversial as you'd like to make it out to be. Here's the Ethereum Foundation blog post from the fork, it's literally describing to people how to choose the fork they want to use, there's no pressure and no censorship: https://blog.ethereum.org/2016/07/20/hard-fork-completed

> Ethereum didn't miss any blocks and there wasn't any rollback. https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia/the-dao-hack-makerdao "Those who refused to accept the hard fork that **rolled back the blockchain’s history** supported the pre-forked version — now known as Ethereum Classic (ETC)."

epic_trader

What about ETC?

vattenj

Maybe at the time of fork it is so, but since the majority of the devs are on the ETH fork side, later on ETC lacks most of the technology improvements like POS transition and L2 layering, basically stayed at the fork time, technology wise This also raised interesting question about what is essentially a blockchain? It is merely a medium for realizing the consensus of the major devs (system architecture). Bitcoin fork also reflected the same principle

BylliGoat

You can't modify a Blockchain. That's the whole point of it existing. They forked it into a new Blockchain, which is exactly why we have ETH and ETC. What's the point of arguing with me if you're just going to not look it up? Like, you're just wrong. Full stop. There's no debate here. I'm sorry you're uncomfortable with that reality, but they DID hard fork the whole chain because of a transaction they didn't like. They'll never do that for someone like you or I, but the Man always has a kill switch in his back pocket.

reddit4485

>While the vast majority of stakeholders adopted the change and the fork was implemented, not everyone was on board. As a result, the hard fork resulted in two competing — and now separate — Ethereum blockchains. Those who refused to accept **the hard fork that rolled back** the blockchain’s history supported the pre-forked version — now known as Ethereum Classic (ETC). The blockchain presently known as Ethereum is the blockchain that implemented the hard fork and altered the blockchain’s history — and the history of blockchain as a whole. https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia/the-dao-hack-makerdao It was absolutely rolled back! No one tried to hide it but they reversed $60,000,000 of stolen ether

Dumperandumper

Ethereum Classic (ETC) isn't a breach to the current Ethereum (ETH) network runtime, but rather the embodiment of a fundamental disagreement about whether that runtime should have ever been altered. Following the 2016 DAO hack, the Ethereum community executed a hard fork—an intentional change to the network's rules and state—to reverse the theft. The chain that implemented this change became the modern ETH network. However, a faction of the community rejected this intervention, championing the principle of absolute immutability ("code is law"). They continued to validate the original, unaltered blockchain where the hack remains a permanent part of the transaction history. This original chain is Ethereum Classic (ETC). Therefore, ETC represents a preserved, historical version of the runtime that the main ETH network chose to abandon, standing as a permanent fork and a philosophical counterpoint to ETH's decision to modify its own ledger.

VisiblePlatform6704

Haha, that was my though. I 'member... I was there and I converted all my ETC into ETH. But it was shady as f\*ck and deffo made the ETH foundation lose a lot of credibility.

epic_trader

You're confused about a lot of things. Let me help you clear this up. No, an ophaned block doesn't cause a hard fork. The orphaned block was found *after* the block that made it onto the *canonical* chain was found (this is the term you're looking for), so while it was valid at the time, it was submitted too late and never becomes part of the chain. Even if nearby peers might have been building on top of it. But this is not a hard fork, it's literally the consensus mechanism at work. >The chain with *the most cumulative proof of work* is THE chain Correct. Now tell me, which chain had more cumulative proof of work behind it, ETC or ETH? Huh? Because they 2 chains have an identical history up until the split, and because essentially all miners continued to mine Ethereum, ETC never had more cumulative hashes. >Nobody cares about chains that aren't mined anymore, nor are they called "original". Then why the fuck would you bring it up and call ETC the "original"? > ETC Classic chain is technically the original ETH blockchain. Literally your comment.

virtual_black_whale

This is obviously an AI post but for the readers: "4.      Slashing is not available" but forking is! See the DAO hack on Ethereum, this is the reason we have ETC (Ethereum Classic)

epic_trader

>ETC Classic chain is technically the original ETH blockchain. This was your statement, which is not technically correct. >ETC was the longest proof of work chain with the most cumulative hashes calculated That does not make it the *original* chain. >In fact, ETC is now the largest smart contract platform secured by proof of work mining. I'm off to buy some.. It's probably a bit of a stretch to say it's being "secured" when it's been 51% many so times.

YogurtCloset3335

Nope. When ETH rolled back DAO transactions, ETC was the longest proof of work chain with the most cumulative hashes calculated. That is the criteria by which all mined cryptocurrencies choose which fork is authentic. It doesn't matter that ETH hard forked before ETC, those chains it forked from are no longer being mined. In fact, ETC is now the largest smart contract platform secured by proof of work mining. I'm off to buy some..

epic_trader

Technically Ethereum didn't have a rollback, but made an irregular state change. Also technically ETC is not the original Ethereum, there'd already been 2 hardforks before the DAO fork.

YogurtCloset3335

Somewhat true but a proof of work blockchain can be rolled back by consensus, ETH did it when the DAO got hacked. ETC Classic chain is technically the original ETH blockchain.

It kinda defeats the purpose but you can still be exposed to BTC by buying ETC that follow BTC, gains will be taxed like stocks at 23%

Azzuro-x

Ledger supports the most coins however the firmware is closed source (the frontend and the applications are open source) accordingly may not satisfy your condition. Trezor supports much less coins (particularly Trezor One) but it is open source (with the exeption of the secure element firmware in case of the Safe series) : BTC, ETH incl. tokens, ETC, SOL incl. tokens I think, XRP, BCH, SUI, XMR, ADA, LTC.

I’ve been taking profits on BTC and going all in on ETC. The froth with bitcoin is just getting stupid right now with every influencer trying to top the previous influence’s prediction. I’m watching the same analysts, Exchange CEO’s, ETF fund management etc, give one prediction one day and then up it by 50% the next day because someone else came in higher. I lived through this in 1987, 2000, 2008 and it looked EXACTLY the same. it’s coming. How deep I can’t tell but it’s definitely coming.

Numerous_Ruin_4947

I had a wallet secured with a 12-word seed phrase and a PIN code. It was eventually compromised through the Exodus wallet app. The only times I ever entered the seed phrase were when I initially used Jaxx, and later when I migrated to Exodus. Exodus never requested the PIN - that may have been specific to Jaxx. When I imported my seed phrase into Exodus, it prompted me to create a new password. After that, I could access the wallet using only the password, without needing the seed again. Unfortunately, in January, my Ethereum Classic (ETC) was drained. I lost around $200. That experience convinced me to stop using software wallets. No matter how careful you are, there’s always a risk your funds can be stolen - and you often won’t know until it’s too late.

SidonyD

**Hi everyone,** I've been keeping an eye on the world of crypto, and I've already started holding some Bitcoin via an ETC. In France, it's quite difficult to acquire cryptocurrency directly without going through foreign brokers, which often involves fairly burdensome administrative requirements. I have to admit, Bitcoin is interesting, but it hasn't performed as well as my stocks lately. I'm not trying to provoke a debate, but at the moment, it feels more like an asset that competes with ETFs. Currently, I have a diversified investment portfolio: stocks from around the world, government and corporate bonds, real estate, and crypto. Of course, stocks—especially ETFs—still make up the dominant portion. My goal now is to complement my holdings with a second cryptocurrency. The problem is, it's hard to get good advice. The crypto world is full of scammers trying to sell you the latest junk token for their Ponzi scheme. The only piece of truly valuable advice I've received so far was about XRP. It seems this crypto might have strong potential due to its "banking" use case, and it’s also closely followed. Which cryptocurrency would you recommend to complement Bitcoin? Thanks in advance.

Gunnigle

Look, there are good tokens for all time: ETH, BTC Also i always hold SOL, cos i like it very much, big ecosystem and future. XRP , ETC, LTC also not bad idea to hold. But now i recommend you to find some utility new project which using AI in web3. For me im participating in new ai voice protocol (i think its first project on this theme), they will launch token on solana soon and public launch - try just to find new projects, not just MEME but projects with great idea and big future, because 99% new project and tokens are scam and only wants to make fast money. DYOR and good luck sir.

No idea to be honest, I haven't followed ETC since it was happening. I'd guess that it's more profitable for people with lots of GPUs now to get involved with AI rather than attack small PoW chains, but I don't know.

ETC pumping is normally a top signal, I’m surprised it’s happening so early. Will keep an eye on it.

Then why did Ethereum split into two crypto currencies the traditional Ethereum Classic (ETC) and the radical Ethereum (ETH)?

MaleficentPrune652

Kaspa's quick block times are neat but my experience leans toward ETC for smoother pool mining on a setup like yours. Nothing's certain, so it's all a bit experimental.

"This time is different" could mean a lot of things but it's always in the bullish case. "This time is different. ETF's, institutions, governments, corporate treasuries, ETC, *so I don't expect the huge 60% - 70% drawdowns from previous cycles."* "There won't be a banana zone this cycle, *we might slow climb to 250K*" For the record, I don't think this time is different. I'm planning accordingly for some down years in 2026-27.

To answer your question, ETC. But really, there is only BTC and everything else is a shitcoin.

That was a hard fork. ETC is a crapshoot take on eth and split entirely. And no it was not voted for 95% to do that the did a hard fork be außer the minority which wanted to circumvent immutability went to ETC. didn't worked out too well for them. The main reason that garbage gets bought is because its confused with the original ETH. Entirely different projects and blockchain. Even though the underlying source chain was the same.

yes but immutability can be circumvented with a chain fork, like what happened with the ETC/ETH fork... Which was technically democratic since around 95% of the chain's validators agreed to fork it... so...?

>Why would I trade work for money that has 0 value? Cope level critical: don't pretend like you wouldn't turn down 100k nano. That's just sad >The Proof of work is secure and proven valuable Why do you sound like you're trying to convince yourself lol? PoW chains have suffered 51% attacks in the past, see ETC. You're suffering from some serious cognitive dissonance

I want to like ETC but nobody is developing it anymore so it’s essentially just a currency and highly antiquated L1.

ETC is an underrated coin

The drop to $8 dollars after ETC came into existence fell way worse.

Yeah but in the case of MSTR the leverage is already „built-in“ into a SPX constituent, so you got an asset class that‘s safer on paper than a leveraged bitcoin ETF and that‘s also accessible to individuals and institutions that aren‘t allowed to take on leverage to go into positions themselves (i. e. using margin leverage to buy an unleveraged bitcoin ETF or ETC)
