If it's so easy to go from 3 cents to 3$ then why Ripple still under 1$? Verge has 14B circulating supply VS 16M Monero. I think it will take time for Verge to pass even the 50c mark but 5-7c very possible at the current pump
He didn't say it was easy, he said it was easier than that same rate of growth in an established, already decently valued commodity. And he chose his words poorly, what he likely meant was far more probable; it is the same level of difficulty, just far less common. It's got nothing to do with the math, it's the psychology of the market.
He mean that it is much easier and he just say that because he wants a pump. It is indirectly going to affect the market price for few more days. Either you watch the waves or you ride the waves. I dont think that people will be letting this one go as more people ride the waves which means we could see atleast 300 satoshis by few more hours
