A little article, to digest but first ...
To consider classic a serious project we need to consider what was giving ethereum the value it has gained over the last year odd. Some is surely speculative because... cryptos but that cannot be all.
Personally without the addition of Auger, theDAO , Azure integration and interest from tech companies and startups Ethereum classic is just a circle jerk coin, unaccepted by the projects that will make the ethereum platform viable and un-tradable for other cryptographic currencies on established exchanges.
I understand the point they are making, the political issue they are presenting and the stubborn refusal to give ground on a core issue but ethereum was always a platform, not a coin.
