Yes it will, all been discussed before.
Alt coins are all guess work at this point. When ppl want to pump them they go. Very few with actual practical value at this point. That will change with time.
I personally like the "conditional freeware", but would love to see an amount to be held in wallet to run software. The mining keeps people in the coin, but when and if value goes up due to the program features, there will still need to be a mechanism for turning coins over on the exchanges, or it will not be useful for them to keep the coin. The bulk of the coins should become tied up at that point. The mining serves that purpose until or unless the software catches fire. Eh, who knows, maybe it will all feed on itself and the coin will fly..... Sorry, day dreaming again!
I think if there was a routine set up for us to purchase coins that would either sell back to exchanges over time, or even have them destroy themselves as license runs out over time, that would kick price into gear, when the features are fleshed out, of course.
And yes, arb would likely suffer from lots of users, but value of the coin would not. Catch 22 there, but all things equal, would love for coin to rise in price much more than keeping numbers down for arb. Of course, if software is tied to coin amount, that would serve to keep numbers low just because people will stop buying in at some price. Too bad for people who did not get in is my view.
There are other routines that can be added to make profit over time other than arb. Been waiting for Markus to be able to get into more features, but one at a time.
Anyway, all in Markus' hands at the moment. I still have faith in him. Hopefully his job will get back to normal for a while and he will have some time. Kinda saw this coming in the beginning and talked to Markus about it a little, but what can you do but have patience. He has to make a living like most of us!
QTL as a coin has to stand out for demand to increase enough to raise the price. If markus is doing that by tying it to the bot, then the features of the bot need to keep being updated and improved to keep investor interest in the coin. Not everyone who is trading QTL cares about the bot, but if enough talk and speculation is out there about what could be and is on the horizon, some of those looking to hold certain coins because of their long term value may look at QTL as something worth holding. Generally you don't want a ton of people or bots arbing any market as that reduces the potential profit, but thinking about where we stand with the birth of the crypto revolution, I don't foresee the profits going away anytime soon.
There is no need for there to be a "mechanism" to get QTL back into the exchanges. QTL, just like every other coin in existence has more coins on exchanges than are in peoples wallets. It is easy enough to send the funds from a local wallet into the exchange of your choice if needed. I would also love the opportunity to arb qtl without risking it giving my bot a headache.
In short, all the academics/analysis and logic in the world can't tell you what a market will do. All you can do is look for signs to enter/exit and exploit whatever profit you can.
