The coin is too much undervaluated. It can go up to 2-3$ easy.
Why do you think it can surpass VTC? I mean it would be nice but I dont know why exactly. Ok, the execution time is much better but on the other hand the VTC team is not sleeping eather - they are permanently on their way to enhance the infrastructure of VTC.
You said it later ("Holly crap, 26k satoshi").

The network is now over 1.1 GH (about 1/3 of vert's), which is about 2.5 GH in reallity. It's quite possible to see prices like 1-2-3-4$ per coin.....
