Yep, we hodlers are dreamers. And we know nothing for sure. My common sense tells me, that this one place when XEM occured in code of the mentioned exchange, shows only there was intentions to add XEM. There's no guarantees that this intentions exist for now. From whale/market maker perspective new exchange means less possibilities to control the price, or better to say less convenient circumstances. We saw in the past days how this control works. Nice spike was quick covered up to the point of the start. For me is that simple - whale/market maker do not let XEM fly, unless he wants that, or the market pushing forces will be stronger than his stack of XEMs. For now price depends only from his will. And i bet that he try to force his will on Bitflyer too. That's of course my pure speculation, i can be wrong. Is that good for hodlers, that XEMs price is manipulated? I dont think, that we will complain, when market maker will let XEMs price rise to 1$ or more.
$ 1 is really for the new year?
