The thing is that people that hold 1 bitcoin will get 1 bitcoin private (one bitcoin is priced at about 15k usd)
And on the other side people that hold 1 zclassic will also get 1 bitcoin private (one zclassic is about 30 usd)
It means that you will get 500 BTCP (Bitcoin private) for 1btc worth of zclassic. (Instead of 1 BTCP from 1 BTC)
This is why people really want to buy zlassic now, i think we should be expecting another 10x from here.
Privacy is all the hype, so a privacy coin bitcoin fork ofcourse makes people excited.
Buying a coin just for the hype is a huge mistake, besides what it is the point of this coin, why bitcoin private is better than solutions especially geared towards privacy like monero and dash, bitcoin was never meant to be completely anonymous so I think this coin is moving in the wrong direction.
Hmm... hype accounts for like 99% of the value of coins today. Do you think coins are gaining 100% or more on certain days because of fundamentals? Of course not. Front running the hype is one of the ways to profits in this current crypto speculation craze.
