And has very little (if any) relevance to most.
If BTC becomes $100 per coin and DRK still "holds" against it, are you telling me that's a good thing? What about $10 or $1?
Maybe he isn't but I'm telling you it's a "good thing".
I always monitor the DRK / BTC ratio and regard the DRK dollar price as irrelevant. If you want to day trade against the dollar use Bitcoin or Litecoin because those are the side of crypto that faces towards the fiat markets.
The only reason DRK has a dollar price is because Bitcoin does, so the only indicator that actually tells you how DRK is doing valuation wise is the DRK/BTC ratio.
