I see a justified price of 3-4 BTC for one DRK at the current level of supply. The extreme leverage might even bubble it up much higher for some time.
Its just a state of the art financial instrument, in contrast to BTC or LTC.
I couldn't agree more with this post.
It isn't just a question of technology and how "copyable" something is. BTC, LTC, Peercoin etc were all first with something that was far more "copyable" than DRK technology. Despite that their valuation was never challenged by any of the subsequent clones.
What this demonstrates is that - while 'clone' competition probably does have an impact, it's not definitive and brand appears to have far more influence.
Unless the Darkcoin people make some major mistakes this coin is on course for complete supremacy in the 'anonymity' sector and valuation will follow accordingly.
Well what about Zerocoin/Zerocash (I still dont understand if this is a protocol or it will be an altcoin? what is the diference?)
Seeing DRK will be 3-4 BTC is plain nuts and far fetched. Everyone makes ridiculous claims on the coin treads. "BC will be 100USD in one year". Just lol.
