Question now is of course whether $ftc dumps or pumps. I think conqueror has already weighed in on this
block halving is in 3 days 20 hours ish so we have the weekend before it, which is good timing for a pump over the weekend. even if no pump halving daily supply, all else being equal, should lead to a gradual rise over time, again all things being equal.
Smaller sell pressure from miners is very positive.
But keep in mind price was rising half year just because of this one "news" already.
Also all fanboys shouting pump should be warning.
I remember Neoscrypt pump very well and it was mild, followed by instant dump.
Yet everybody was predicting huge pump.
I might be wrong, FTC whales are brutal.
If it goes to 10k, or even 30k, i will feel happy for you guys.
if you look through the forum history you'll see i was very critical of neoscrypt including thinking it would kill the value of ftc and later always giving it as the main reason ftc fell so low.
i bailed and kept away from ftc for the longest time due to neoscrypt. though now for various other reasons (including the state of mining control in btc ltc etc) i've come around to attempts like neoscrypt.
as for pumps, while i do think ftc has potential to be pumped on/around blockhalving, i'm not a fan of pumps at all especailly when as with all previous ftc pumps it quickly returns to previos lows, which doesn't do any coin any favors.
obviously if everyone plans to sell around some news they percieve will cause a pump it actually has the opposite effect., simple math eg isn't much of a mystery to proper traders when real world stock are sold down on good (or even great) news.
i'm neither pumping or dumping ftc as i'm very long in it (and have been through previous pumps).
i do think feathercoin has potential to geniuely be a top coin., alot of work and alot of time between now and then, but it has more potential then 10001 shitcoins and icos that are pumped out daily around here.
