Are you high? If a shitcoin like Litecoin can hit 300 mil, why couldn't a coin with actual utility?
I'm not saying it can't, I'm just speculating about the revaluation potential of RC4. 50%-100% revaluation isn't bad. We're already 5-6 times the cap of the nearest X-Coin competitor so that would put us 8-10 times.
On the other hand, if DRK starts to "pull away" and be seen as some kind of lone challenge to the 2nd place then that might prove to be a very powerful driver. For me that's no more than wishful thinking right now though which is why I'd rather be realistic.
If you can't see the price go up above 0.02 again.. HAHA WTF M8 WHY ARE YOU HERE?!!
Because I don't only invest for the reason that I think I'm going to make multiples of gain. Sometimes investing is an end in itself. I like this project technically, I believe it is the most committed and original long term "anon" project and I'd like to be a part of it which is why I spent time learning about and setting up a masternode. So I won't be ditching my holdings but one thing I hate is mutually reinforced delusional thinking. It happened when we are at 277 - there was some very realistic advice given and dismissed as FUD. There was too much evangelism around to discuss the matter calmly and dispassionately. Yet here we are right where that advice said we were going to be.
We may well see 2+ again but we may well not ever. If people don't admit then they just haven't been trading long enough because that's the nature of the alt coin market who's agenda and priorities move very quickly from one thing to the next. The long term fortunes of this coin will be far healthier if that simple fact is recognised and acknowledged.
If your in need of a reality check, take a look at the history of one of the best and most promising coins ever produced, which had a profile on mainstream BBC news amongst others - Peercoin.
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. Hypothetically:
GM announces tomorrow that they have completed a top-secret multi-year project, spearheaded by some of the best minds in the world. The result is a new hybrid vehicle, powered by revolutionary battery technology. In fact, the batteries are the important part: light-weight with extremely high capacity, at full charge these batteries have a range of 2,000 miles. It's a massive leap over anything else on the market. At the same time, they can be produced cheaply and without negative environmental consequences. In fact, because of various other design efficiencies, the total cost of this vehicle is $10,000 USD. It generates 300 HP, has a range of 2,000 miles on a full charge, and is a hybrid so it can use gasoline as well if its range is exceeded. Oh, and a full charge takes 15 minutes.
What happens to GM's stock?
Now I know the above is all fantasy, but it represents a paradigm shift, the same way as RC4 does. Here's what we have now:
RC3:
Darksend limited to 10 DRK
Darksend based on modified CoinJoin (okay anonymity but nothing groundbreaking)
MN payments are voluntary
MN voting is a little erratic (not deterministic)
Here's what we are assuming for RC4 (yes, assuming!):
Darksend limit lifted
Darksend based on new crypto, extremely powerful anonymity (along the lines of ring sigs, but without the bloat)
MN payments enforced
"Spork" technology successfully implemented (enforcement = "on"); enforcement code perfected and streamlined
MN voting is deterministic
I2P integration completed or in the works
IP obfuscation
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.
P.S. Peercoin as one of the most innovative cryptos ever? How's that? Yes, Proof of Stake was interesting, but what does PPC actually DO that nobody else did at the time? At it's heart it's still the same-old-same-old, albeit with a different staking/securing mechanism. Anonymity coins, on the other hand, are a *radical* departure from the normal paradigm.
