I'm aware of the new release but it still doesn't change the fact that so little Aeon is on Bittrex that can be bought. I'll wait to see what happens once deposits and withdrawals are re-enabled on Bittrex. If this holds, then yes this is a legit pump.
Fair point but let's look further. HitBTC is at $2.26 right now and at $2.70 on Bittrex - Though I don't trust HitBTC that much though - I stay away and won't put too much into the price disparity (yet).
Looking further:
BTC is $4300 and LTC is $54. (80:1 ratio)
BTC Market Cap is 71.5 Billion and LTC is 2.9 Billion =
25:1 ratioDash is $323 and Pivx is $3. (108:1 ratio)
Dash Market Cap is 2.5 Billion and Pivx is 166 million =
15:1 ratioMonero is $94 and Aeon is $2.70 (35:1 ratio)
Monero Markt Cap is 1.4 Billion and Aeon is 39 million =
36:1 ratioPrice is more psychological (albeit still meaningful) but Market Cap is more practical here when trying to determine true value (e.g. companies, cryptos, etc.) So, on the surface - Market Cap wise, I'd say Aeon is quite undervalued relative to some other Cryptos (ratio wise) BUT this is dependent on Aeon full-filling the promise of what it will do technically (e.g. running on a cell phone). Perhaps the price is fair all things considered - risk is priced in, but considering our developer Smooth, I like our chances. (BTW - I understand Dash is getting away from anonymity and focussing more on payments, but for the sake of comparison, I came up with these examples; add to them if you wish.)
Projecting the price out, using an average 20:1 ratio would put us at a $70 million dollar cap, which equates to a price of
$4.78 per Aeon.
So, we are looking at a double from here. But to be safe, we can say a range of maybe $3 to $7, as this isn't a science. Now, of course, we have to consider, how important will anonymity become? Will LTC implement Confidential Transactions and what would that effect be? (I say small as CT is not Ring Signatures good.)
Jump in here guys.
