The arrival of Ethereum 2.0 could change the network in ways that community members have never seen before.

But the many ways in which this can happen cannot be thoroughly analyzed until the highly awaited upgrade launches successfully. However, miner behavior in the near term seems like a topic that prominent players can wrap their heads around, enough to at least predict where miners will be migrating to once the upgrade finally commences.

Ethereum Classic may become home to some of Ethereum’s wealthiest miners

Blockchain enthusiast and angel investor Adam Cochran, has made an informed guess, pointing at the Ethereum Classic Blockchain as the destination for Ethereum miners. With the launch of Ethereum 2.0 comes the proof of stake Blockchain. For miners who find it efficient to remain on the Ethereum network, proof of stake may just be their cup of tea. But for miners who intend to jump on another proof of work Blockchain, Ethereum classic may be their new home.

This is the viewpoint that Cochran holds. His tweet below encapsulates his overall prediction for some of the wealthiest Ethereum miners, who may want to secure their wealth acquired from mining on Ethereum’s proof of work chain. 

“I’ve been keeping a bag of ETC for a while because I think when we move to ETH2.0 PoS. We’re going to see a lot of wealthy miners shift to another PoW chain and ETC would be an easy narrative to put their wealth behind.” He reckons.

The future of Ethereum Classic is fundamentally bullish

His assertions are led by the price increase Ethereum Classic has experienced in the past weeks. Soaring by 66% in the last two weeks to now settle at $29.

The price of the asset is expected to continue in this line, as investment interest rises. Last month, Grayscale investment added over 130,000 ETC to its holdings.

Since Ethereum Classic forked from Ethereum, both chains have taken a different direction. While Ethereum 2.0 is headed towards improving its performance, Ethereum classic is reaping the benefits of its fixed monetary policy.

Although Ethereum 2.0 does not bring fixed supply to the network, the fifth EIP-1559 upgrade expected to follow the recently conducted Berlin hard fork, will reduce Ethereum’s supply significantly.

Meanwhile, Ethereum Classic still boasts of some exclusive benefits, one of which includes the ability for miners to avoid hitting the ‘Byzantine Generals Problem”, as the POW network creates an external physical signaling system; a feature not found on Proof-of-Stake networks.

Sidechains vs Plasma vs Sharding

Special thanks to Jinglan Wang for review and feedback One question that often comes up is: how exactly is sharding different from sidechains or Plasma? All three architectures seem to involve a hub-and-spoke architecture with a central “main chain” that serves as the consensus backbone of the system, and a set of “child” chains containing actual user-level transactions.
