Hi everybody, this my first post, however, I've been in and out of black since May. Some trades were good, some should have been avoided. I'm long term bullish in here and I consider BC the only asymmetric-risk investment in cryptos apart from BTC. It has shown reasonably stable behaviour during the uninteresting summer months(relative to other coins), giving many opportunities to improve positions.
Lately, I have seen the trend change and many will associate this with the upcoming NightTrader release by dzimbeck or increased trading at BTC38. However, I have one more reason to be bullish mid-term. Reading many bitcoin speculation threads lately, I have come to the conclusion that many bitcoin holders and potential buyers are becoming worried of the increased centralization of mining and the increased ability of large mining farms to dump coins and some of them start considering alternatives, like POS blockchains. Specifically, secure and proven POS, that means BC.
Is it reasonable to believe that BC adoption will increase rapidly in the future because of the above?
As long as work continues underneath the BlackCoin PoS protocol umbrella of development, I agree with you whole-heartedly. A stable and secure coin will be very attractive to others and they will undoubtedly lean to BlackCoin -- if they know of its existence and what it all offers. Getting into BlackCoin SOONER as opposed to LATER is obvious for many reasons. The addition of a few other exchanges (Excoin, Night Trader, and another unannounced platform that is quite ahead of its time and in private VC funded development) will create much needed liquidity and larger purchases into BlackCoin to aid its scaling as merchants hopefully begin adoption. Time will tell.
