There is no need for 10 BTC daily trade volume but constant (at least once per hour) trades. Unless traders see constant trading they will not be investing into XCR, that should be clear by now. At this moment, with hundreds of coins out there, you have to pay a lot for promotion or you have to play dirty or both, anything else won't give you satisfying results.

An idea that developers holding onto a shitload of XCR and not having money for promotion is better than them having money for promotion and less coins where those coins are then in hands of someone who might start promoting coin possibly big time because he loaded up nice amount for cheap is hilarious, you and developers are obviously a bad market makers and traders.
