The total amount of BC available on MintPal, at any price is inconsequential, 2-3 BTC at most. Compare that with 100's of BTC volume for MINT. IMO, the difference is the dev has essentially done nothing to market and promote the coin outside of this forum. Also, even at BC 2300 MINT 38 sat the price ratio between the two is 60:1 or 30% higher than it was yesterday at 45:1. With the reward on MINT halving again today to a max block reward of 112,500 it makes no longer makes sense to mine, when you can mine BC at an equivalent guaranteed block reward of 600,000 Mint coins if you sell at 2300 and convert to MINT.
