Bitcoin Private

[Rabblerah112]

So I bought a ton of ZClassic because theres going to be that airdrop of 1:1 ZCL to Bitcoin Private.
So you figure BTCP could be huge considering that BTC is not very private and new investors are figuring that out now.  I think it could be bigger than BCH frankly.  Im surprised it wasnt mentioned in the last PBC issue as well (see my signature).

What do you guys think about the fate of BTCP?

I believe privacy depends (mostly) on how you use it.
Forking a privacy centered coin, ZClassic with a different algorithm than bitcoin and naming it bitcoin Private just seems a publicity stunt.
But again I believe it's better to have a larger option for users to choose from.

To evaluate its potential, would would ask Will this coin accomplish anything that Zclassic and other privacy focused coins does not already provide?  If not, then there is not really a good reason for people to flock to this coin, except the name association.

But this coin is getting a little hype, and the “fork/airdrop” will give it instant volume, so IMO, this may be one of the few forks that has some staying power, but I don’t think it will ever amount to much.
