Let me say that as one of the brightest people on this thread over the last several hundred pages, I both respect your opinion and an very dismayed at the same time. I think you are letting charts and general malaise cloud your judgment......Based on the above features, we would be looking at a paradigm shift, and I think that the market would react accordingly. Now we don't know how many of those things will be in RC4, but we know from eltito that there's some damn amazing stuff in the works.
Thanks for the generous and constructive reply. I wasn't meaning to be "despondent" in fact I'm it total agreement with you re. the 'paradigm shift' issues in RC4 and future roadmap features. I hope it's also clear that I left the door open in my last analysis for another substantial revaluation.
At the same time, I don't think we can take it for granted and the point I've been trying to ram home over the last couple of months is I don't think people realise what a phenomenal challenge reaching some of these exotic price projections would be. Basically what happens is:
We say: "paradigm shift !, 1000% revaluation please"
Market says: "mildly interesting, you can have 50%"
That's how this game works. We see everything that can go right because we're invested, the market sees everything that can go wrong because it isn't.
Then add to the mix the speculator whales who only jump on for the ride up and who don't give a monkeys about technical developments - they make sure that any rise you do get is cut by 65% right after it pumps.
That's why I changed my whole investing philosophy as far as DRK was concerned (it's still the same for other coins - just make as much BTC as I can). DRK is one of the very few I'd ever get into as an "end station" because when I dis-invested, I didn't enjoy the experienced and I suddenly realised there is a dimension to investing that isn't about accumulation of BTC.
To spell it out another way, I see more fun in being associated with this project and following its development than I do in the amount of BTC gains it makes me. That's party because I've a technical background and things like the masternode technology gives us yet another aspect on our involvement in the whole thing. Then there are these "what's round the corner surprises" then Evan springs out of nowhere which actually turn out to be fairly major evolutions of the technology.
I just checked my trade history and I bought my first DRKs at 0.0015 back in March. This thread was different from other [ANN] threads I was used to like the Blackcoin thread - it was industrious, largely void of "to the moon" type delusional hysteria, constructive and unassuming. I made a conscious decision to buy 1000 of them which was quite a massive investment for me at the time in an "unknown quantity" that wasn't in the middle of a pump - all of 1.5 BTC. It was the only coin (apart from NXT) where I'd ever done that - actually bet on the long term fundamentals and you know the rest of the story.
So I don't rule out further price evolution based on developments, I'm just saying that as it goes higher other things come into play and we can't just assume the market's going to give us what we want. Out posts should reflect that fact otherwise we'll just invite more of the FUD trying to "put us in our place".
I hope that puts a more constructive perspective on my previous post.
