Calling Zclassic a "counterfeit token" is simply incorrect. Zclassic was launched in 2016 as an independent software fork of Zcash that removed the 20% Founders' Reward and left the protocol open, permissionless, and community-driven.
Unlike Ycash, which is an on-chain hard fork that shares Zcash's history, Zclassic started its own blockchain and network. You may disagree with its goals, but describing it as "malicious" requires evidence of malicious code, exploits, hidden minting, backdoors, or user harm. After nearly 10 years of operation, none of that has been demonstrated.
If anything, Zclassic represents one of the purest implementations of private digital cash: no founders tax, no venture capital control, no central foundation, and no privileged recipients embedded into the protocol. It's simply a decentralized privacy coin that lets the market decide its value.
