I like Peercoin because it was the first Proof of Stake coin available and Ethereum in the future would be looking to do something similar to that as well.
But Ethereum Classic I don't see any real use case for it. It hasn't got any software application or Dapp's being built off it like ethereum. It is basically in my HUMBLE opinion riding the popularity wave off ethereum because they share the same name. If you know of better uses for ETC than ETH let me know.
ETH contracts could migrate to ETC if the development is strong enough. ETC is by no means dead - but as you put it - its unique strength is also questionable -

When THE Microsoft Ethereum Evangelist, who is responsible for informing and education Corporations about the Ethereum tells you personally to your face that ETC is no good you listen. As an investment option sure ETC all power to you. But as a platform for software development. I fail to see the innovation.

that isn't anyone who is responsible for speak to and education corporations about the technology behind Ethereum. Sounds like a punter convinced ETC is going to be bigger than ETH because he has invested his life savings into it.
Thanks for the heads up - nearly everyone who writes about crypto is vested - none more than the developers
PS I have also like all your comments and I have followed you. Keep up the good work.
