I do understand that volume is important. I have a small position in a coin which has virtually zero volume. I also think that the potential for buy orders is important. Obviously, the price may rise based on a few buys (considering the lack of volume) but if no-one wants to buy unless the price is 20,000 below the current price, it's not so helpful.
In terms of volume, does it need to be based on news? For example does GAP need to have something positive happen for the price to rise?
You seem to be talking about the difference between news and publicity and public awareness..
1) Gapcoin produces "real news" even if it isn't covered by any news site, while 2) some other coins produce "not news" that is heavily pumped by press release sites trying to convince people it is news and 3) others yet (e.g. your coin perhaps) offer something that is highly valuable but is unknown and therefore not expensive yet.
