BITFINEX:ETCUSD is not a clone of BITSTAMP:ETHUSD, but a continuation of the original Ethereum launched in 2015, which The Ethereum Foundation forked away from by launching a new protocol one year later in 2016.
Applications on BITFINEX:ETCUSD have been operating uninterrupted for a year longer than on Ethereum™, making ETC the longest-running and most reliable Smart Contract Platform.
This analysis suggests that BITFINEX:ETCUSD is likely to reach all-time high in August 2024.
