In any case, labcoin will probably stagnate between .0026-.0028 for about a day or two before it either booms due to increased hashrate or falls due to stagnant hashrate.
There is no chance whatsoever that this is going to happen. None.
Is the market going to anticipate a good news (growing hashrate) or not (we want to see it before) ?
If yes, you're right. If not, he's right.
Make your bet.
