There are different ways of looking at it. I think most will agree that the current price point is important.

Mooincoin?

Since the march of Crypto has only barely started, I expect LTC to remain in the game for a while. I want to see it touch $250  

There will be 40 billion Moons issued in a period of 26 days, with the majority the first 10 days (starting on Wednesday).

Cryptsy orders alone encompass 32 bln Moons down to 1 Litoshi. We will survive  

Not picking it up before USD 2.

Only now I learn that The Reggie Middleton has joined this board. You are definitely on top of all major techno waves out there.

I admit I haven't tried Ultracoin yet but the question I keep asking myself is how real world assets are tied to the concept of Ultracoin. It's easy to exchange one electronic asset (e.g. a Litecoin) for some other electronic assets (e.g. Mooncoins). Lock the assets up and exchange. No trust needed, its all decentralised.

Now enter a USD / EUR swap. I cannot throw 100 dollars into Ultracoin through my CDROM tray. Even electronic dollars cannot be tied to Ultacoin just like that. The same goes for the Euro part of the swap transaction.

Will Ultracoin just tie these 2 promises together: promises to pay fiat?

Obviously, Ultracoin will not lock in the fiat dollars and euros. Can't be done with centralised systems for fiat currency. Presumably there is and will not be  a 'central' point of trust being Reggie's wife's USD and EUR bank accounts to accommodate this swap.

So what remains: locking in the equivalent of USD and EUR in Bitcoins? Then, parties are just exchanging Bitcoins. And how to deal with Bitcoin variations in price in USD vs EUR
EUR) ?

In about 45 hours we will learn... 

Mooncoin up, Dogecoin down....

At current prices, I hope there is a buyer willing to soak up an additional $9,000 worth of Moon during the Apollo period. 25 bln Moons in a span of 10 days 

Litecoin has some trouble keeping up in USD but it's long from dead. Patience my friend.

It's going better than since the last few months. We'll get there.

Goldcoin is going steady. The name sure is right.

I wonder: does the order still stand?

Perhaps the hype in alts is still to come...

No way the US is provoking war. Otherwise a whistleblower would step up and tell all about that dirty little secret 

Deprogramming is hard, and there is no turning back.

Not kill, just low prices.

It's called human nature....

If into my bids: yes.

For the rest: HODL also applies to Moon 

That would make perfect sense.

As a bonus chart, about 2 years of coin issue:



Please note that this graph does not take into account the slow period of Moon where coin issue got stuck for a while. Therefore, strictly speaking the x-axis cannot be seen as a gradual movement in time until today's date and the 1 year mark is a bit off. However, that does not harm our analysis.

We are about to enter the phase whereby 25 billion extra coins will be issued (the 'Apollo period'). This will be between blocks 193,000 and 203,000 if I understand it correctly. That will be about 10% of the total coin issue in year 1. I'm planning to pick up some Moons during that phase should Moon go to 1 Litoshi during that avalanche. We should reach that phase by the end of August 2014.

Long before year 1 is done, coin issue will have dropped considerably. That's why I think accumulation during the 'Apollo period' is an interesting strategy.
