Ethereum Classic is a hard fork of the original currency-Ethereum and it is basically a copy of it in almost every single aspect. Ethereum Classic has the exact same blockchain, so it most likely is able to do everything that Ethereum can.
A large part of the crypto community stands behind and is strongly supporting the original Ethereum blockchain because they firmly believe in the ‘’code is law’’ rule. However, the statement released by the Ethereum Classic community also stands behind this philosophy and claims that there will be no changes made to the Ethereum Classic code that violate the sanctity of the ledger, so transaction history cannot be reversed or modified. Despite many investors sticking with Ethereum for ideological reasons, Classic also gained a lot of followers because of the many development projects such as the Emerald Software Developer Kit. This kit can be used for building decentralized apps. They also implemented smart contracts.
However, some crypto exchanges only support Ethereum and don’t really have trading pairs for Ethereum Classic. But there are plenty other exchanges that allow you do trade Ethereum Classic such as Binance and Bitfinex. Also, using crypto wallets is different. Some popular hardware wallets do support both, but others are not interchangeable. Wallets that support both Ethereum and Ethereum Classic are Jaxx and Ledger.
The future of this cryptocurrency seems as bright as day because of its strong development team. The biggest plus that this currency has is the Emerald Project that first wants to start off as a wallet that will verify transactions in a trustless manner.
