Even assuming the above were true - that is that things might carry on exactly the same for over three years, longer than the coin has even existed this far (and this is quite an assumption as e.g. if the price were to triple logic dictates that the premine would then last longer for instance...) - this would put the coin at over 5 years old and well into maturity and at the current pace of development very well developed, it would be long enough for the coin to truly outshine a field of otherwise uninspiring and scam competitors, and it would certainly be long enough for such a coin to attract further outside attention and investment. So even if it were true it is in my opinion not as major an issue as some would believe.

That said I don't think it is actually true as in even a year from now things are likely to have changed drastically - it is simplistic and wrong to try and predict the future behaviour in this way.
