Twitter contest from CEO Bobby Lee brings Ethereum Classic to BTCC

Published by CryptoNinjas.net
05/29/2017

Bobby Lee, the co-founder & CEO of cryptocurrency exchange BTCC held a vote in the past weeks to decide which crypto the company would list next. BTCC is a leading bitcoin company that offers digital currency exchanges, mining pools, physical bitcoins, and mobile wallets. Between exchanges in China and Hong Kong, BTCC currently lists BTCUSD, BTCCNY, LTCCNY, and LTCBTC.

The winner was announced yesterday and ended up being Ethereum Classic (ETC). The ETC cryptocurrency has gotten some favor in recent months, getting listed on various Asian exchanges from China, Korea, to Japan. It was not announced yet whether ETC will be listed on both the company’s Chinese only exchange and its international Hong Kong exchange or just one of them.

The final vote tally showed the following results:
47% ETC – Ethereum Classic
40% STEEM – Steem
11% DOGE – Dogecoin
02% XMR – Monero

@YourBTCC After 2+ wks, 3 rounds, 190K+ votes, we now have a WINNER in the Battle of Digital Currencies:#EthereumClassic???@YourBTCC will list $ETC!

Further positive news for ETC saw back in April Grayscale Investments go live with its Ethereum Classic Investment Trust, a private investment fund modeled on their first investment trust based on Bitcoin.

In their thesis, Grayscale stated, “Ethereum Classic is a next-generation blockchain platform for a new internet infrastructure – one that can dramatically enhance the ways that information and value are shared in the digital economy, unlocking trillions of dollars in untapped economic surplus in the process. Featuring a flexible and intuitive smart contract programming platform that is powered by ETC, we believe Ethereum Classic may one day be the substrate for a global, secure, and decentralized Internet of Things (IoT).”

They also noted the money supply commenting, “Ethereum does not currently include a cap on the ETH supply. While there is no guarantee that the ETH supply model will remain as is, it is quite possible that there will be considerably more ETH in circulation than ETC in the future. As a result, ETH would need to generate a substantially higher rate of return to justify a valuation at parity with, or greater than ETC.”

ETC is currently trading at around $15 USD at the time of writing, hitting as high as $22 on May 22nd. Considering ETC spent most of the first half of 2017 between $1-$3, long-term holders have been delighted to see a breakout.
