With nothing but admiration for rat4, Soepkip, maarx, IconicExpert, the blackcoinpool team, blaze87 etc...
The biggest reason IMO for this massive influx of capital was....
BTC(and those of us who held our coins while all others were dumping theirs)
I finished my liquidation of BTC into BC (for the most part... lowest order didn't fill.. so it will go it at a much higher price unfortunately).
I think much of the world - at least the crypto-investing world - watched in horror over the past 24-48 hours as their BTC lost value and almost every other alt coin in existence followed suit.
EXCEPT FOR BLACKCOIN!
The efforts of those I mentioned above (and many others who I didn't take adequate time to mention in this post) has been great, and greatly beneficial - but we the community at large just did the biggest boost to marketing that a crypto currency can have, especially in this market lately...
We
acted like a currency - and not just some scam to steal money and value from the suckers that bought in.
The entire community deserves respect for this - and though there is work to be done (and rewards baked in just for being part of the action). As long as we continue to prove we are fundamentally different than anything else available - 15K sats will be a laughable momentary signpost in our rear view mirrors.
