It doesn't matter the price but the distribution.
Price matters because cheap price = coin spreads.
Don't seriously tell me that XMR, a coin that has a very serious technological barrier to entry for non-computer geeks, running on frickin' command line, is better distributed. People couldn't even compile a wallet or move money between themselves or exchanges. Even now they can't.
A technological barrier to entry ensures problematic distribution for all except those with way-above-average technical knowledge.
DRK was unfairly and centralized distributed/mined on its conception
XMR was not.
Except for the part that 100x gains were possible for the miner and some people were mining that way... that's the "concept" / initial XMR conception.
Hint: which one of the bellow are the most suspicious and unfairly looking:
Since you are in drawing curves, also draw one for the profitability of a normal XMR miner and a 100x XMR miner... yes, very fair and unsuspicious for everyone involved.
XMR house is made of bullet proof glass.
If you say so.
