Market timing is difficult. It it nice to sell high and rebuy low but as you mention at some point you may miss the opportunity to rebuy lower.
The thing about these 'little ponds' of crypto is they behave fairly rationally until a large new buyer enters the market. Then his/her buying action, plus the enthusiasm it generates causes the price to explode... and it might not come back. I would hate to be playing a price scalping game on an asset I actually believed in when one of these new whales enters the game.
I've been doing this long enough to realize the potential profits from buying and holding some good far outweigh any temporary wages from scraping bid/ask stacks of their liquidity.
Over half of the /r/aeoncoin users have migrated. Is the pace faster or slower than expected?
I am surprised by how fast people came over, but I also have seen a lot of shilling in the Poloniex troll box with regards to Aeon. It seems we have a few people there who like to talk about it, possibly leading to new people discovering the currency. Polo used to crack down on this pretty hard and tell people not to talk about non-Poloniex coins in the trollbox, but they have changed their minds lately and seem to be allowing these mentions. Maybe it means they will be adding Aeon back soon?
