You asked the question yet gave the answer as well in the OP. You don't really have to know much about Zclassic to know something that is a privacy coin and Bitcoin related will get much attention and hype. From there the devs have to do a decent job to make it into something proper and you will have a worthwhile coin off the bat. I find it interesting they are giving BTC holders 1:1 but hey I won't complain
