Some additional info about the Merit Market which was launched July 20, 2018

We have made it a priority to try and get this right (as evidenced by our countless facelifts and changes in direction for the Market).

In July:

• There was ~30,000 MRT in volume
• There were 198 orders placed to purchase MRT

In August:

• There was ~330,000 MRT in volume
• There were 563 orders placed to purchase MRT

Since our last big release for the Market on August 24, 2018 (which included simplifying buying multiple listings with BTC escrow), we've seen a significant spike in both volume and the price of MRT on the Market.

We're constantly looking to improve what we've created so far - as the community can attest. Stop by #ideas on our discord channel or create a Github issue in our new market-ideas repo.

Thanks!

Personally, I treat it like a volatile investment ( ) and balance it with less volatile investments. Diversify!
