XMR went from $25M to close to roughly $60M market cap on a DNM announcement.
FCT has Department of Homeland Security and a Wall Street firm amongst their clients.

There's a mismatch with the demographic of crypto here and many investors put their idealism before money. The US government and Wall Street are easily in the top 5 of what most crypto people despise and for this reason it'll take some time to reach price discovery. The kind of revenue US government and Wall street can generate stomps any shady DNM.

I think you nailed it. It's been a growing question of mine: Why isn't FCT worth ... 1b? 4b? 10b? I mean really, when you understand what they're doing, have a sense of the team, and a sense of the potential marketwith no serious competitorswhy not 10b? It would be speculative, but not unreasonable. ETH got up to 1.5b and ... not trying to disparage ETH, I was an early investor and vocal supporter, but right now FCT has a much stronger argument for a b+ market cap.

Which raises the question ... and I think you're exactly right, Azael. Tempus has pointed out in the past the influence of psychological factors, and for those (non-rational) factors, FCT strikes out. It's not sexy or explicitly subversive*, it just does the jobthe foundational jobextremely well. Like Google or Microsoft, both of which its been compared to in the past.

IMO, anyone reading this stands a very good chance of making a hell of a lot of money.

*Factom is bland/vanilla only from the outside. If you're serious about change, you have to be serious in how you execute your efforts to make that change. IMO you have to detach image from substance. Paul Snow wrote in the epigraph to Factom's white paper: "Honesty is subversive." FCT is a guaranteer of honesty. In that it is massively subversive, massively important, and massively valuable.
