Hi Kelly.
We really value that you've come to the forum to get our opinion. I notice that numerous others have given their view, but I am hoping that my experiences and views on this may be of some help.
Firstly, nobody here can predict the future, neither affect the price as an individual, but we can as a group of people with mutual interests build value into a system, which as you no doubt are aware we are working to do. Price is often set by expectations of the future and it is likely that the more people who are impressed by our next installment in DNotes 2.0, the higher the price is likely to go.
It's never fun when your portfolio is lower than where you bought in, but investing is of course all about gains over time. My first purchases in Bitcoin (having been a miner) were early 2014 when a Bitcoin was about 750 USD. It subsequently went down to as low as ~160 USD over the next year, but regained to 750 by mid 2016, and is now ~3300-3500 today. I don't know where Bitcoin will be in a year, but with DNotes I believe it will do very well in the long-term as a result of a unique approach to succeed that would be very difficult for any rival to replicate, qualified leaders, a trusted brand. As it stands, immaturity in the industry has meant many are unaware of the value in our approach, or do not yet know who we are. A strong PR drive will accompany the launch of DNotes 2.0. At that time, people will at least take notice. For this reason, my view is that your situation is similar to Bitcoin during 2014/15.
I understand that only you know what is best for you Kelly, and I sincerely wish you all the best.
Thank you very much TeeGeei'm sure you're right. and DNotes v2 will makes some good changes in price and value .
