What? Did you read the list? Finally getting rid of shitcoins like these is the most promising thing I've seen Bittrex do lately... well, whats about anoncoin? All centralized exchanges must die.

I'm a fundamentalist when it comes to economics and investing, yet still, looking at this 1-week $VIA chart at bitcoinwizdom makes me wonder if Viacoin is about to break upwards. These 2 so-called support and resistant lines will converge in the next 2 weeks... Perhaps something boiling under the hood. Then again, I was never a technician trader and I might be hallucinating... hehe ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F9MztxMU.png%3F1&t=665&c=cNjm0J1y2eudGA)

That is as classic a double bottom as they come... That said, TA is arguably something that works because some people actually believe that many will follow those patters and, consequently MAKE it work. It is historically proven that some sort of that effect tends to happen... if the rest of the requirements are met... which is NEVER, EVER the case in crypto: Namely, a volume in transactions up to 100 times bigger than the ones actually taken place, are necessary for TA to actually be considered by experts. That said, if half a dozen people believe that it could apply here, and they have something like half a BTC each to put them to work, they would probably prompt a "price-reaction". Nothing to do with the traditional TA, but same "effect" nevertheless...

The up between the double bottom was created by zynga fake news. These charts are working on high volume markets but usually not on altcoins. For me the chart looks like razorcoin lol The real questions are: Is a whale still exiting with slow sells and who is absorbing all the sells? Is there still any work behind the scenes? Only news can push the price up in my opinion and bring confidence back to via. I still believe in via but a little bit more communication would be appreciated ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

But I don't want to either be redundant or excessively negative, therefor I will focus, for now, in the relatively positive fact that, in spite of the turbulence of the last couple of days (BTER) and the remarkable lack of communication for the longest period of time that I remember, from the dev, the price is holding, again in relative terms, not too badly. Which would make ANY variables upcoming -unless it is Moore's Law-, a potential inflection point.

There is an important difference, in that VIA and XCH are a purpose-built blockchain and asset registration system, which is better suited to the role for which the Derivatives exchanges (and other commerce) are currently searching. http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/business/industries/banking/article4354987.eceThe KEY advantages of VIA/XCH are Speed, Robust Tested Technology, and Availability of the underlying units (price wise). The blockchain could effectively be majority bought by an exchange and used 'off the peg'.

Fifth, this is not just developed and managed by an egomaniacal anonymous individual but actually, by all intents and purposes, OWNED actually by that individual, along with an investor acounting both for straight ownership of 1/4 of VIA and who knows what of the Xcp or whatever its name is- asset. It IS a very serious -insurmountable in fact- distribution problem in a "decentralized" project. As you can see, with the best most positive intention, it is quite evident we have very serious and numerous problems. .. the unsolvable kind. But I am sure you will have a different vision. Certainly a different agenda... hurry up if you are answering because I doubt this post will remain live for very long. .. and hereby lies problem # one...

No idea if he is still involved in VIA and treechains is still something he is working on. For me VIA is like 95% of all other altcoins now. Some insiders are knowing whats going on and the remaining folk (like me) is betting on the price and trying to fool the accumulation bot. But I have patience with this

VIA is one of the most Viable alternative blockchains to BTC... and its Valuation is next to nothing. If it gets any new impetus, or gets noticed by Big Finance looking for blockchain 2.0 tech, then the sky is the limit in the future. For investors its another very low cost option on Alt Coin tech.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/bit4Y6I38jM. Published 27 Jan 2015 BTC conference in Tel Aviv on October 19-20 2014 Peter Todd on treechains and during the Q&A part about VIA. After '20 minutes: 'Viacoin has potential to be a better Bitcoin and equally Viacoin potentially forces Bitcoin to be a better Bitcoin'. 'Treechains is a longterm project, which will move on at its own pace, ...' At the end of the tape Todd explains that he is more busy on Viacoin then on BTC, not nessecary all the time doing coding work, but by thinking through implication kind of things etc. 'Half of my work at Viacoin, that is essentially day by day, I have to interact with other BTC- devs, and review code and so on, that is a kind of tit for tat process, you review their code, they review your code, ...write up new features, writing up testing, it is sort of layer removed from testing...'
