First of all, a confession. "That person [who] ups it to keep it in priority" is me. I didn't identify myself at the time because I wanted to stay anonymous.
I am not very well versed in market lingo. I do not even know whether it's a good or bad thing that the price is going up. However, if supply of QBC has gone down twenty fold, then the price should be 20 times more than 450 (median price in July before fork). However, no alt price makes any sense at this point. I mean the very best alt coin, Reddcoin (RDD), is only 30 satoshis in a dizzying world of copy-pasted coins that have no real value.
I costs only USD 130 of bitcoins to buy QBC up to 1700 at this point so somebody with a modest budget wants QBC, well there aren't that many to be had quite frankly.
I am just looking forward to when your IPO purchase price is restored (7000 satoshis).
I'm holding and not buying for now so all I can do is eat popcorn while watching the show.
Maybe we can make a game out of it (with a Counterparty (XCP) oracle system type of thing like on XCPfeeds.info).
