If you took a look at the Bitfinex/Cryptsy orderbooks around .011 before the little breakout, even at the same volume it would have reached .015-.014+ eventually, there were nearly no sells all the way up to .0125 with huge buy support. Also if you look at the volume leading up to the breakout, it was steadily declining until it reached a price SOME people felt was good enough to sell which makes it seem like the coin supply that people are willing to sell is decreasing, eventually the exchanges will run out of coins to an extent which will immediately drive the price up. I think the reason it shot up so fast was possibly due to speculation post LTC-run or just someone/some people taking advantage of the thin sells in the orderbooks.

any links/evidence?

It's been too long and the order book was very clear this had to happen, this was due. Dash is my long-term investment. I truly believe that when it comes time that Crypto becomes a mainstream real-world solution and the price of coins becomes competitive based on the actual coins features themselves instead of something to trade (LTC mostly just good for trading due to high volume/liquidity) that Dash will come out on top and possibly even eventually replace BTC since it is better in every way.

I am by no means a programmer/developer so I have no idea how difficult/possible this would be, but I think if it could be easy enough that anybody could easily set up a masternode without any major risks, that could be a major selling point as the ROI is very high. It could draw new people into crypto who want a more traditional investment without all the volatility associated with crypto and 24/7 exchanges. I say this with my father and his generation in mind because they are accustomed to 401k style investments where they just want to hold something that won't LOSE value vs inflation over time.

Darkcoin currently has the best community, developer team, and innovations in design out of any coin I know of. I bought in during the "pump" and there are massive buy walls supporting the price right now. I expect the price to rise very much in the coming month. Dogecoin and Litecoin are slowly wilting away. Darkcoin is the only coin I can see surviving.

Thanks a lot I really appreciate it

Can Darkcoin count... or can we count on Darkcoin? c:

Hey guys! I had to make a new account from years back because apparently my email is lost along with my password. But anyways, I was out of the alt-coin game for over a year and I stumbled upon Darkcoin and researched it a lot. If any alt coin has a chance in this environment it is Darkcoin. I look forward to seeing where we go from here!
