Am I missing something here? Why is Darkcoin the only coin in the top 10 to have dropped significantly over the last 24 hours? Over 5% lost.
You have all these great announcements and features (anonymous sending, open source, instant transactions) and yet the price just either stays the same or goes down.
The volume on fucking Dogecoin (that as far as I can tell offers jack shit) was 6x Darkcoin in the last 24 hours. It's like a bad joke. The market cap too is looking like it will drop below Namecoin.
Before any calls me a "troll" or "hater" (I hate people who do that), you should know I own a pretty significant number of Darkcoins and have for a while. It's the only coin I own aside from Bitcoin, because I believe in the principle of an anonymous currency and I like how Darkcoin has been developed. But what the hell? You have HUGE developments and virtually zero price movement or greater adoption.
I think it's time to face reality... Darkcoin seems unable to break out of a small core group of believers. Something obviously needs to give
Oh, the price issue AGAIN? The open-source era is just beginning. The average person can't do much with Darkcoin right now, and that reflects in the price.
Build the Darkness (infrastructure) so Darkcoin is truly useful in a real-world sense, and then the next step will be adoption, and the slow growth that comes with it. Do you realize that the entire Darkcoin marketcap couldn't even pay Alex Rodriguez's salary for a year? Think about that for a second.
I don't think people have any inkling about how huge, massive, and titanic this project has the potential to be,
IN TIME. If you don't have the patience, get out and sell your coins.
Bitcoin's problem is that it is getting tons of corporate adoption, but relatively few client (average person) adoption. This lack of demand reflects the price in a negative way. Use your price-worrying energy to sing the praises of Darkcoin to anyone you encounter, every day, all day. Start a twitter or facebook page,
get people in to the Dark! This is the only way our investment will succeed.
If you decide to stick it out, put your coins away, use them when it is easier to, and come back in 5-10 years and see where you're at.
I don't usually swear, but for fuck sakes, stop worring about today's price, and think about the bigger picture!
