About Ethereum Classic
The Ethereum that stayed behind. When the chain forked over the DAO hack, this side chose “code is law”. And the long game: $100 at its first close here (2016) would be about $395 today.
Did you know?
- It's the original, unforked Ethereum chain kept alive after the 2016 DAO hack rollback.
- Its community motto — “code is law” — is a direct rebuke of that rollback.
- Its best month on record was May 2017 at +198.56%; its worst, March 2018 at -57.36%.
