Nor to many other people. But I was also overly confident that ETC would be a joke, was lol-ing at my free money. While ETH still gave the better return until now, I would definitely say that my guess was way off. Even if ETC goes nowhere, it survived a lot longer than any skeptic suspected.

Seems pretty simple unless I'm missing something?
Safe harbor is a bit ironic considering the variance of alts is bitcoin squared
. This will sound funny in BTC world, but i still believe fiat is the best safe-harbour against a BTC fail.
I don't see any objective foundation in the narratives such as "BTC is gold, LTC is Silver".
Or holding LTC as "insurance" against BTC.
Have to admit though, in terms of marketing/propaganda, they are a beautiful masterpiece. And if enough people believe it, it becomes true as a market reality.
For some reason ETC somewhat correlates to ETH, which is even a bigger joke in my understanding. Since if ETH fails, ETC must fail for the same reason...(until ETC has a completely different code, will not try out POS etc).
But i am just as much speculating as anybody else.
To be fair, those narratives might be the real reason for why the price of those coins is where it is. But i'm not sure that an "obvious logic" applies here where the price can obviously be deduced and explained. At least i can't
