Interesting opinion. I agree with you on the "No fee" attraction for the whales and the exclusivity of the coins that have been accepted on MP V2.
The only thing that bugs my mind is the fact that whales know that many traders accumulated coins already hoping for the V2 launch pump so I prepare myself for an intense period of FUD combined with dumps which will pressure the weak hands to dump into whales' hands before an actual moon launch. ...as they say, buy the rumor, sell the news...

sometimes longer FUD periods work to their advantage...there'll be bagholders waiting to dump, but most of the larger bagholders are probably more willing to ride out the pump, or otherwise not affect the pump as much.
imo, the whales must be pretty antsy too, probably will get started pushing HAL asap....at least that's what I'm hoping for

I've been in this game for a while now and I can honestly say that I've never seen such an underpriced coin like HAL with all the good things happening for it...The marketplace and the rewards for the master node will generate demand for sure...I am buying now in small increments and holding
