Monero is Monero, Monero Classic was an attempt by cryptonight asic manufacturers to pretend there's some community opposition to RandomX in the hope of salvaging their worthless investment.
One is used to exchange value around the world and the other is not.
And the other in a penny stock category due to low market cap. Thus it is more suitable for market pump and dump schemes.
People sometimes need no a reason but a pretext to create a coin fork. After the BTC/BCH split the general concept of chain hard forking was discovered and many pointless forks was created.
so it was a fork of monero like MoneroV?
Hard forking has been around a long time, LTC was a hard fork of Bitcoin, as was Doge. It didn't start with BCH.
Litecoin was a fork of codebase not a fork of a chain.
Alright well ethereum/ethereum classic then, that predates BCH. My point is forking didn't start with BCH.
Ah, yes. The ETH/ETC split was earlier.
Seems like it was an old fork of XMR but it’s pretty dead https://bitcoinist.com/what-the-fork-monero-classic/
