Reach one USD ? Right now decred is trading around $0.002 levels with market cap of 7,597 bitcoins.

I am not finding any positive events for decred price appreciations other than few investors found on their own forum.
I agree that decred is totally a different altcoin still now a days that alone will not be enough to have some decent value.

Check for different factors which are associated with one particular altcoin if you plan for any investing. Right now I am not finding any drastic value changes for any altcoins. Only bitcoin seems promising.
