The next week after the bitcoingold comes out, bitcoin will start to decline in price.
Perhaps the price of onion will skyrocket
That is true. People are stocking up BTC to get their share of BTCGold. After that, they will convert it back to different cryptos. The advantage, that some people would have perceived, is that in this frenzy for free BTCGold coins, the price of other cryptos will fall (like with DO). So they will get back more of their original crypto when they buy them back after 25-Oct. And as the market swings, the prices of other cryptos will rise to balance the demand and BTC will stabilize at a lower price. That ends up as a Win-Win!
Bitcoin price and bitcoin gold is not related. People are not buying bitcoin to get some free scam coins. There is really no reason to belive that the rally will end anytime soon. The likelyhood of the 2x fork causing major damage is diminishing. I would not be suprised to see prices above 8k before new year.
The DeepOnion price will not go up untill its chance of long term success improves. Listing on a major exchange would help. But in the end it is the work of the developers and the community that gives DeepOnion value. The price might fall to 10 cents and rise to 10 dollars in a few weeks if the fundamentals change.
Right on! Im pretty much inline with your analysis there! Im not sure it will reach 8k$ by year end thou, think it will retrace a bit at the end of the month... As for DO well its all about features.
