If history is any indicator, we have seen extremely high levels of interest prior to an airdrop because everybody wants free coins! The recent airdrop was that of NXT coin. The price surged an astronomical 2500%+ almost 33 times its value and made new highs. I have put the price charts for ETC and NXT alongside to compare price rally leading to the airdrop by March 5, 2018. Good luck! :)
