🔥 $ETC Can the Original Ethereum Survive the New Era?
Ethereum Classic ( $ETC ) the untouched, non-forked version of Ethereum continues to rely on Proof-of-Work and maintains a capped supply of 210.7M tokens.
💰 Price sits around $15.70
For most of its lifespan, $ETC has leaned on its roots and the “Code is Law” ethos. But a single proposal may determine where it goes from here: Olympia.
Olympia aims to reroute gas fees into a DAO managed treasury, giving ETC its first real pathway to sustainable growth.
💡 That means the chain could finally fund builder incentives, client development, and security upgrades directly through network usage transforming ETC from a frozen time capsule into a self-supported, evolving ecosystem.
Of course, challenges remain:
⚠️ Its history of 51% attacks continues to damage trust
⚠️ The removal of USDT support in 2025 drained liquidity
⚠️ Limited developer traction
$ETC is at a crossroads revival or gradual fade-out.
Olympia could reignite the chain… or confirm it’s nearing its final chapter.
