I think that technology behind IoP and Libertaria is perfect and the only missing piece for IoP is to reach people. I am following their Discord channel and whoever comes there is amazed with technology and project. So, my point is that price rise is market reaction to technology. Blue papers are few days already online, but not many people read it.

My personal opinion is that they made mistake for short term - being very private(although open source!) while building technology, but I think that this can be very easily fixed for long term with putting money in marketing - reaching as many people as possible interested in Blockchain.
