At the beginning of 2017, Ethereum Classic was passing through another fork - the fork "fork" or Die Hard fork designed to increase the difficulty of mining. The project has a focus on IoT applications, and runs a mathematically verified Ethereum Virtual Machine, or EVM. There are tons of projects that are built on top of Ethereum and they need to pay ethers in order to run their programs. Currently, price of ETC isa lot of times lower than ETH.
