@Danslip do you live in a alternate reality?
Gulden has been trending upwards since the end of 2015, the charts are similar to how bitcoin started off. What you call marketing is hype to cause a sudden spike in price followed by an eventual cliff drop, your attitude doesn't represent a healthy climate for Gulden as a currency.
Go invest in those inflated pump and dumps on Poloniex, there is plenty of casino coins for you to throw your money at.
Gulden has entered into it's innovation phase... Do you know what this means? Coins can try copy PoW2 but they will be looking to Gulden development for future development which means Gulden starts to lead the way. By the time coins have tried to copy PoW2 the team will be onto the next project.
NOW FOR A MORE IMPORTANT TOPIC.
PoW2 is a genius concept, Malcolm's knowledge of the blockchain is remarkable beyond words . A very informative read. Well done!
Explain to me this, how is potcoin the same value as Gulden? PoW2 look like a game changer but not in the top 50 of coinmarketcap. With all the good projects this coin has done you must admit marketing is its biggest downfall.
You can divide Potcoins value by 10 if it'd removed from Poloniex or that exchange becomes another cryptsy or gox.
Most of the coins removed off Poloniex on the 2nd May lost up to 90% in value , insiders dumped those coins before the announcement was made.
