Hello dani-cat, there is no reason for illusion loss :-)

If we look at coinmarketcap.com, we can see, that nearly any new coin is loosing position. It means, that price of the coin is falling faster than rise of total count of mined coins.
But CROAT is far more resistant to BTC big player games, than most of the other altcoins.
CROAT will break within 100 days 50% of emission point. Let's compare CROAT with our competitor SUMOKOIN, which is still under 20% of emission.
PRICE of SUMOkoin is 50x bigger than price of CROAT. SUMOkoin price is about 50 cents = price of CROAT accepted by CROAT merchants several months ago, before initial CROAT correction at octaex.com
If we compare SUMOKOIN with CROAT from usage point of view, we can see, that SUMOkoin has no added value, it is a pure speculative coin.
There is no reason why price of SUMO is higher than price of CROAT, except this, that far more mining hashpower is needed for 1 SUMOkoin that for 1 CROAT.
The current mining difficulty of SUMOkoin is 77G, while difficulty of CROAT is 1.5G
This is everything, it is no magic here. SUMOkoin was able to attract more ASIC and Nicehash miners after fork back to pure CryptoNight algo, which is used also by CROAT.

The CROAT is currently more profitable coin than SUMO, the only problem is, that ASIC and NICEHASH miners do not know about it. But I am sure, that it will be changed in the near future. Anyone from us could do something for rise of "mining difficulty" which is requirement for rise of price. That's the reason, why I wrote to yesterday my topic into this thread about CROAT mining using NICEHASH.COM marketplace
