Smooth is a Bytecoin enthusiast, I know. He wants to have cheap BCN, so simply ignore him.
Cheap BCN is not difficult to come by, although even at this price it is likely overvalued, as scams generally go to zero in time (sometimes a long time).
BCN is stable and
very cheap at present. The price of Bytecoin will rise once the interest in all the pump & dump Bytecoin cryptonote clones has died down. The most vocal pump & dump, Monero, is fast heading down to 1$. Once this level is reached the end game for this particular pump & dump will be swift and sudden!
