If you had 1000 BTC in Jan 2014 and you traded it for 100 000 PPC you can't be happy right now,while I don't agree with a lot of what Paul 33 said I do agree with his need for action now a sense of urgency is lacking with peercoin I know of no other coin with such a cavleer attitude peercoin can be a great coin again but not with out renewed energy
But most of the losses occurred between 2014 and 2017, which was the time of the "hiatus".
If you look at the
Coinmarketcap chart (select "ALL" if it isn't selected already) you'll see that in late 2016 the current price in Bitcoin (~0.00024 BTC) had already been reached - with a far lower price in dollars (about 0.25-0.30 USD).
This was the "all time low". Since then, the Peercoin price has stabilized (measured in BTC), with some spikes while the "crypto bubble" in mid 2017 to early 2018 lasted.
The "problem" is that ICO-financed "tokens" ruled the market in the last year, and there was less investment and less attention for smaller blockchain projects like Peercoin (with some notable exceptions like McAfee's "Verge").
I'm sure that 0.7 will be the start for a new PPC bull market, and when the switch to modern code is completed (I just read in the forum that there are already tests with BTC 0.16 code) then I don't see why Peercoin shouldn't return into the top-100. It can even return into the top-20 or top-30 if the development takes into account modern achievements in Proof of Stake research and isn't following the "Not-Invented-Here syndrome".
