The current rally in Gulden I don't believe has anything to do with the PoW2 and SegSig update coming soon. This is just people finding out about Gulden through word of mouth. Once the world has confirmation on PoW2 and SegSig with official release date then the fun will start.
Correct, atleast in my situation. With Christmas-days I did meet my family and friends and introduced them to the Gulden, most of them have a wallet now.
This happened by many dutchies I bet.
That required 10k coins is still a goal for me too, I'd like to witness!!!!
