Doing their best in an uneducated fashion, with a system that is destined to fail. There is nowhere for etc to go. All of the developers and future projects will be continuing on the hf eth, so investing in etc(or buying any at all) is, more or less, irresponsible management of finances.

Granted, you can make a good bit of cash of the ups and downs going on right now. But at somepoint, etc will die and be worth nothing. It's just kind of interesting that the buy volume is so high in a useless crypto.

Just hope that you get out before it crashes to 0 if you're trying to hold out for top.
