$ETC Breakdown: Where does the money come from, where is it burned, and why is it valuable
【Issuance Mechanism】In 2016, following the The DAO incident, it split off from ETH via a hard fork. Total supply is about 210 million (ECIP-1017 reduces production by 20% each year until reaching the cap), with no burn.
【Profit / Value Sources】The narrative of an “unalterable original Ethereum” + censorship-resistant smart contracts; it is often viewed as Ethereum’s PoW test network.
【Burn Mechanism】No burn mechanism.
【Core Nature】PoW (ETCHash), community-driven, with no single controlling entity.
One-line takeaway: ETH’s “orthodox fork.” Bullish = PoW + the scarcity narrative of smart contracts; bearish = the ecosystem is far behind Ethereum.
