Is there a lot of development? Where? I check it on daily-basis since big players like the coin, but don't see much happening.... 
See here, it indicates the price of XCP has increased in the past few days, sometimes even though development are not being developed but the price will raise.

Yes, maybe there are so many people who are eagerly waiting for the updates. I hope once we see developments many smart contracts being developed by other like ETH.
