WHAT IS A BLOCKCHAIN?

Put simply, blockchains provide a way to keep track of digital assets (money, things) without the need for intermediaries, such as banks and other financial institutions.

Ethereum Classic (ETC) is a smarter blockchain, it is a network, a community, and a cryptocurrency that takes digital assets further. In addition to allowing people to send value to each other, ETC allows for complex contracts that operate autonomously and cannot be modified or censored.

This may be best explained with an analogy, imagine Bitcoin as a landline phoneit does one thing very well. ETC is like a smartphoneit can do everything Bitcoin can and much more.

If the Internet was simply a bunch of interconnected computers, and didnt have any users or creators making websites, it would be largely useless. In much the same way a blockchain needs users and creators. ETC has both and were working on solving real world problems of interconnecting people and their devices.
