increase in value already happened in early december and again in early january. it's up like 5000% from late november based on current prices on c-patex. this is not now, and in my opinion will never be a $1 coin. not organically at least. i speak only for myself here but based on how the coin's blockchain was set up (short target block time, no decrease in block reward, 90 billion coins), it doesn't seem that a value increase of this magnitude (another ~5000% from where it is now to get to $1) was the intent in listing the coin.

seems to me that the other blake coins all will have a much much higher value per coin in the game-world and could take off as investment vehicles on exchanges in the real-world. They will all be much rarer than PHO and they will all get scarcer over time, whereas people will be finding PHO between their digital couch cushions for years... PHO just seems like an odd choice for a community to rally around for astronomical price increases, based on the way it's coded.
