Problem with older coins are - If no one is using the product after the deliverance, then probably it's not going to work. I hold a big bag of lbc, and was sure few months back that it will be atleast in double digits given the working product behind it. It still may reach new ATH but the newer coins have bigger funding and better team and more than that, they have better marketing. Infact every other coin has made decent gains in last 6-7 months, whereas LBC dropped again below 8k satoshis. Perhaps it's not going to work, we should start accepting that.
I have to agree that marketing is everything in this crazy society which we all are living in. All the projects without it are doomed to failure. Neither
Apple nor
Microsoft would not have any of success without - marketing. And
the price is the only visible Indicator of success - so I hope the developers will reconsider their official position in this regard and will do more promotion.
Any smart investor is aware that the price is absolutely no indicator for succees but a mere product of hype. Many coins have everything to deliver yet but their price is very high. Thats a dangerous gamble and many people get burned in the end.
Give LBC some time. Buy, forget 6 months an be happy. The price atm is good and wont drop any lower.
