Volumes on HitBTC still aren't that impressive, and even though there is definitely room for growth for the short term I don't think that there is a whole lot of long term potential here. It being a bitcoin and ZClassic fork definitely repels me as well.

To me, people hyped up a lot as soon as they heard that BTCP was going to be distributed for ZCL holders, that was why ZCL got pumped so hard in the first place, and why BTCP has the market cap rank that it has right now.

As I said I'd rather buy into other privacy coins like XMR for the long term, though in the short term if ZCL can get listed on Binance or other major exchanges I'm sure a pump is possible.
