You do realize that barely anyone reads online news, right? Hundreds of readers, the odd article getting thousands, is not enough to build an userbase of millions.
lol
Just saying for what it is. Ripple has been out since 2014 (almost a decade) and this "Stellar" coin (which they're probably in on) is their best attempt to try to upstart Bitcoin.
"Freebie handouts" and obscure articles on the net isn't enough to grow this coin to rival or surpass Bitcoin. Stellar is really intended to be a 94.9% lockout intended to enrich its' developers and early bird investors. There's no way this thing will even get 100,000 users let alone the millions it wants.
$10? Wouldn't even get out of bed for $10. Stellar with its' tens of billions of coins means 6000 stellar will only be worth $100s if Stellar goes beyond $10 billion capitalization (not holding my breath to wait for it to happen).
