I've been wondering who'd actually buy TRC at a high quantity? What incentives and value do they see in this currency?
Well, it's not fiat, so that's always a good starting point.
AFAIK it's pretty similar to Bitcoin. So it's mostly speculation; if I buy in now, and TRC goes up really high in price, I'll be rich!
It doesn't mean much to be not a fiat currency if no one wants to use it. BTC has lived for 4+ years and trust has grown, TRC is relatively new. I was particularly interested if people have a particular interest for TRC if it wasn't for all the speculations.
You have a point. However, the more people adopt it, the more people admit to wanting to use it. Generally, an increase of price on any crypto-currency shows that more people are picking it up. There was a point in time where Litecoin was known by very few, and it traded for very little. But now even I have Litecoin, just to have it. I suspect there will be more than one major crypto-currency in the future, as opposed to Bitcoin being the only popular one; tho BTC will likely always reign king, I wouldn't say the other coins never reach such a level.
