Sure, but the falling price has nothing to do with what Tok is talking about.  The advantage that Bitcoin has is that its first 1 million coins never made it to market, so the price can stay inflated because Satoshi is not taking profit.  In the case of Dash we emitted our first one million coins at a rock bottom price (primary market)  and ever since then, those first adopters have been taking huge profit into a pool of just 10.5 million coins.  This radical asymmetry in our coin distribution is the reason we are struggling with the larger prices, it has nothing to do with how the coin is mined.
