Marketing is needed so that as many people as possible learn about this cryptocurrency and its advantages, otherwise oblivion awaits.

Oblivion is an evocative word-choice but 'toiling in obscurity with little recompense' is perhaps a more accurate projection of negative-outcome.

Just parsing terms here... if "oblivion" is meant as a low price per XSPEC/SPECTRE unit; that's a supply-and-demand issue at root. Specifically, those who have held this coin are selling it (for whatever reasons) in greater proportion than those buying it. Perhaps some of them are devs or whales that need to pay some bills, perhaps it's because the BTC chart doesn't look great technically (and BTC's a bellwether for cryptocurrencies generally [ https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#dominance-percentage] ). As an accumulator persistently/stubbornly trying to coax some action onto the Bisq platform (oh look... there's another willing-to-buy XSPEC offer at more than 60% higher price than anything being traded on Livecoin ), I don't mind the lower price. BTW, the links at the bottom of the October 2019 newsletter listed a handful of honeypot centralized-exchanges (anyone remember that Cryptopia fiasco?) but neglected to include a link here: https://bisq.network/markets/?currency=xspec_btc .

If "oblivion" is meant in the sense of a "dead coin" (no-one staking, no exchanges, no devs, the users gnash their teeth but don't have the technical skills to do anything substantive or aren't "social media influencers") I think that's really unlikely.

Most coins have their bandwagons, the people that have invested time and money supporting it. In the case of privacy-coins it would be a tough sell to dislodge say people involved in promoting PIVX, or Monero, or Verge, Zcoin, Bulwark, etc. Should the marketing be tailored to people already interested and historically-invested in other cryptocurrencies or should it be directed at those who haven't yet touched a single cryptocurrency (maybe heard about BTC from time-to-time)?

If XSPEC is delisted from centralized exchanges, as happening to other privacy tokens, where do you think its highest trading volume will be?

Bisq, if it's not dropped for lack of trading volume [see: https://docs.bisq.network/exchange/howto/list-asset.html under the heading 'Inactive assets will be de-listed']. But maybe the centralized exchanges in the long-run that will permit listing of privacy coins (helping to keep freedom alive and the statist panopticon at bay) will be in non-OECD countries only ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OECD ). Good luck with that.

Alas that this project went by the boards (when the price of Ether dropped precipitously) : https://www.cointrust.com/news/varyon-token-funding-autonomous-crypto-nation-project-goes-on-sale
