Ethereum Classic & the Contrarian Trade
With Ethereum having gained +1000% over the past 9 months, we must consider the fact that Ethereum is migrating to a PoS network. This will take a number of years to roll out and many projects that were built on the PoW based ETH 1.0 will have to make a decision on whether to move to Ethereum 2.0 or look for alternatives. Ethereum Classic and BSV will be the choice PoW platform with smart contract capabilities.
ETC suffered a series of 51% attacks recently that have only made it stronger with new upgrades implemented as a result.
Ethereum Classic has a capped supply just like Bitcoin. It has a capped supply at 210 million thus providing a sound monetary policy.
Looking at the chart, we can see that the price is currently 420% from its all time high which was set on 08 January 2018. We have seen considerable buying volume enter the frey since mid-November 2020 and a massive green candle on 04 January this year, pushed the price above a flatlining 120 EMA ($7.15).
If you are looking to take some gains from ETH/USD off the table, this might not be a bad little contrarian speculation. ETC/USD is a beaten down crypto that receives very little favorable press but as far as we are concerned, it has sound fundamentals.
