every coin traded on a major exchange vs BTC
can be used to buy stuff

DMD represent a real value like any other coin tradeable for BTC or for FIAT

if ya ask why people then should store their value in DMD and not in BTC

the answer is easy in last year from september 2014 to september 2015

value of DMD did x5 even now at this very low price

and in the same timeframe amount of existing coins did nearly double

DMD in its actual shape is as investmet in last year still way more earning than keep same imvestment in BTC
so much as anwer to "is dmd dying?"

this impressive numbers from 3 months ago we have no longer
+398% value gain (DMD/USD)
+771% value gain (DMD/BTC)

but even the half of that which we still have for sure is impressing

and never forget on top of that great price development the last 12 months
we have on top 50% POS earning for each user who have coins staking in his wallet

yes 0.00200 would be better than 0.00080
but that DMD did move in that area multiple times already in its lifetime show us its just a matter of time we will be able stabilize our spot there

if not this time then the next time

and if i say "we" then this "we" isnt the DMD Diamond Foundation or some magical santa claus

we is all DMD owners

we make or break DMD
