All these developers do not understand that anything hack-able would be hacked it is just a matter of time provided that the incentives is there. What happens to ETC is what most of these small POW coin would end up suffering for because POW is not sustainable model for most of them. Bitcoin distinguished itself from the rest because of its first mover advantage plus its network effect. POS is a good option if well designed and by now ETC developers must be thinking seriously about shifting to POS

The reason people are saying this is because it is very difficult to find a decent paying bounty, most projects are talking another routes  to promote their projects unlike 2017/2018 ICO boom, we are likely to see this change has market sentiment changes and people feel comfortable hold tokens to BTC and Fiat

Everything has a price and ETC team is learning the hard way, if there is no incentive for people to protect a common property their will surely be an abuse of the property.

If they fail to come to right decision this could be the beginning of the end for ETC

For me anything between 5-10% daily gain in crypto is a  normal thing, I won't read more into this pump, although I am currently bullish on Zcash because of its coming halving in December and I expect it to do Litecoin, pump before the halving and then dumped after the halving. BTC has been trying to break the $11800 level if this happens then $13500 should be the next level

No, I completely disagree with this, market moves in trend and when you want to go against this trend most of the time you get crushed. Bull market long, bear market short this is very simple. Anyone hold crypto now till next year is in for profit
