Looks like RC4 might get us back to 0.015 or 2 at the max. I don't see us ever getting above that again.
Need to rely on BTC for the dollar price from now on.
Alternative theories welcome.
I think crypto is full of too many competing interests.
361 coins on coinmarketcap. All competing. All trying to attract the same money. Mostly trying to FUD each other. Scams are allowed to go unchallenged because so many people use FUD that scammers can hide behind the FUD argument.
The net impact is hardly anyone wins. No new money is attracted. The fiat status quo is maintained.
I'm trying to find a different approach. Look for a group of coins that are credible. Darkcoin seems to fall into the category.
Spend your time working on shaking out the scammers, organise cooperation between those that have no hope (been around for a long time and are down at the bottom) and those that have a chance. Find a way to give incentives to those who must leave their no hope coins behind. Then you can arrange for a smaller group of competitive coins to move forward and either challenge bitcoin or demonstrate sufficient quality to attract new fiat money. That would shift the price above 3
I think this would be my advice to other coins I'm looking at.
