On December 15th, I bought my first batch of XSPEC at around $0.58. I stumbled upon this coin when I was trying to research privacy coins, and I saw a comparison chart that showed the coin had some tremendous potential. Sure, things like a low market cap and a low supply were certainly alluring, but the number one thing that sold me was the community behind it. Whether it be the main developer or the numerous people invested in the coin, someone is always there to answer questions, troubleshoot, and help in any way they can. I've seen web developers, marketing agents, and coders alike offering any help they could to see this project to light.
A couple of days after I had invested, I decided to help out in any way I could by creating posts to spread awareness and whatnot. Numerous people accused the coin of being a scam attempt and this certainly creating some FUD in me, but the community support pushed me through. After seeing this coin grow over 10x in market cap, it is easy to see how a community effort can only multiply.
