BTCD just hit a new 26 month high in USD terms.. $4.40. It seems to be creeping higher and higher in anticipation of KMD distribution on Jan 31st. Here are the details why:
Current BTCD Price (Poloniex):
.004885 BTCD/BTC
Current BTC/BTCD rate: 204.71: 1 (amount of BTCD that you get for 1 BTC)
KMD/BTCD swap rate:
50.3375: 1 (amount of KMD you will get for 1 BTCD that you swap on ICO site)
KMD/BTC current rate:
10304.511 (amount of KMD you get for 1 BTC worth of BTCD at current price on Poloniex)
KMD/BTC ICO rate:
7746.522 : 1 (amount of KMD you got for 1 BTC at the end of ICO with no bonus)
Current extra KMD via BTCD:
+2557.989 KMD or
+33.02% extra (relative to ICO KMD/BTC rate at the end of ICO with no bonus)
So at current prices, you get much more KMD that you would have gotten at the end of the ICO.
The price could rise sharply from here to
.006512 BTCD/BTC and you would still get the same amount of KMD. per BTC spent, as during the final phase of the ICO.
