zero bid.
'nuff said.
what does that mean?
It means that no one wants to buy TRTL on any of the exchanges (which, last I checked, was just TradeOgre, right?).
FWIW, I mined about 200k worth of TRTL a few months ago just for fun - as I suspect many others have done - and I definitely like the team's style, but crypto is in the grip of a savage bear market so projects need to stand out from the crowd just to survive, much less thrive.
That said, the TRTL Discord is about the friendliest/most hilarious I've come across, and sure puts the DERO one to shame (btw, I witnessed the incredible rudeness of --Serena-- towards RockSteady the other day; it forever degraded my opinion of DERO, which was already at an all-time low thanks to their about-face on CN ASICs).
Good points mate...
Sadly many do not get Turtlecoin as they look straight to the "market" after a glance at the website where they say to themselves, there is nothing new here, the website is average etc. etc. - some get Turtlecoin as they understand the power of community.
I believe the reason most are not selling their mined TRTL is because they believe in the coin (the question is why?) and see future growth/value. Some mined for "fun", weird in my opinion, yet most are mining as they see the intangible value of Turtlecoin's community as a driving force towards real world adoption.
As you mention it is the "friendliest/most hilarious" Discord. THIS is why it will have a far greater chance of succeeding than most. Its advantage is COMMUNITY and active DEVS that actually engage with their community directly, and daily. Something that most in this space do not understand is the most valuable "asset" to any decent crypto, for now. Most look at the tech and salivate over potentially explosive growth when their coin becomes THE coin that wins whatever race they feel they understand.
Few read whitepapers, few actually understand the applications of any crypto in the long term. I do not claim to have a crystal ball. I did however understand the potential of the internet far earlier than most.
This is the thing, the new internet is VERY new (to the mainstream, as most here understand) and real world adoption and application is almost on existent, let alone understood. It is misguided to count a coins performance in a bear market as good or bad. TRTL is holding its value quite well in this bear market, but that is of no real relevance in the long term. Likewise a solid coin that has been decimated in the current market is of little relevance either. I look at 10 years from now. This is the thinking that most will learn to adopt as we close out 2018 (I hope). Those that wanted Lambos have long since sold and now hate crypto, or they check twitter for the next exciting sentence from the "leader or CEO" and hope that a pump will moon their coin like it did at the end of last year. Those that see a long term investment are still here and are very optimistic.
Will TRTL make it, I can't know that in any way shape or form, however does it have a competitive advantage, yes it does, in the form of Community. Community is highly undervalued in this space. I am not talking about numbers, or TRON disciples etc., I am talking about active participants, things like integrity, compassion, fairness, these attributes create value, regardless of a coins tech. Like I said before, for now, this is the "asset" that people should be looking for.
Take SKY for example, the so called foundation of the new internet. Sure it has some flash hardware and a dedicated group of techy minded futurists, yet the community and leader are toxic, hence it will very likely not survive. Why? It failed/fails at the only thing that at this stage has actual value. My two cents.
