and agree tho - pumps will come naturally too, but it's almost chicken or the egg. it happens when new investors are injected or on good news (periodically) as you mentioned. but why would they come when they see manipulative whales with big walls with fud in the forums and there are a million other 'cheaper' choices on the market? how do you convince them this is a good coin without sounding like an informercial? how do you wait for positive sentiment in a downward trend when cryptos are moving at the speed of light with new coins (clones) popping up each day? i already mentioned but 4...FOUR colored coins on polo already! when no news is out (like currently in blackcoin this week), a gain can spark interest and turn heads at the least. not saying to double the price. but just show green. show steps upwards. bring in new money and then on good news bring in even more!
Whatever is done, just get the right heads to turn - investors and not just speculators.
