That was an interesting read. I don't normally follow links on bitcointalk, but I'm glad I did as it kind of explains what's happening with the price. Personally I don't have a problem with the workers at Kickico buying their own coins. If they work on a project and believe in a project, they should be able to invest in that project (and tell their friends). If you think about it, it should instill more confidence in a project if the people involved are willing to risk their own money.
As for me on the other side of the world without this "inside" knowledge, it is blatantly obvious that someone in the know is accumulating. I was actually going to sell some of my kick a week or two ago to invest in another project I'm interested in, but once I saw the activity in the Kick market I decided to hang onto it. It doesn't require inside knowledge to spot that people/groups over at Kucoin are accumulating. We also know that Kickcoin was undervalued for the last 6 months and was bound to recover. Just wait until it hits a bigger exchange; 1500 will seem like a dream price.
This isn't a PnD either. A PnD would be over in a couple of hours/days, and would result in the price jumping from 1000~ to 5000~, only to fall back to 1200. What is happening now is accumulation, pure and simple.
