The hashtag #plebchain is a derogatory term used to refer to the Ethereum Classic (ETC) blockchain. The term is often used by supporters of Ethereum (ETH) to belittle ETC and its community. The term is thought to have originated in 2016, shortly after the Ethereum hard fork that created ETC.
The word "pleb" is a derogatory term for a commoner or someone of low social status. In the context of #plebchain, it is used to suggest that ETC is a "low-status" blockchain that is inferior to ETH.
The use of #plebchain is often seen as a way to dismiss or demean the ETC community. Some people find the term offensive, while others see it as harmless banter.
Here are some examples of how #plebchain is used:
* "I'm not going to invest in ETC, it's just a #plebchain."
* "The #plebchain is a joke, ETH is the real deal."
* "I'm not a #pleb, I only invest in ETH."
Ultimately, the meaning of #plebchain is subjective. Some people find it to be a harmless term, while others find it to be offensive. If you are unsure whether or not to use the term, it is best to err on the side of caution and avoid using it.
