If not for the shitty bounty program, I think the price of ATS would have reached what the dev team wanted already. I am glad that they still keep on moving. As long as the team is working hard, the price will go up in the end.
You're probably right in that one, anyone saying though that ATS can be listed on bittrex anytime soon is surely mistaken though, they've got no where near enough volume for bittrex to even consider them, much better projects and much more profitable projects for bittrex are out there.
