Wow over 1700 pages in ANN thread! Must have been big comunity. Why market cap is so low?
I will paste here what I posted to a similar question on reddit before:

Blackcoin is completely community driven. There was no ICO, there was no premine, there was no coins hold back to pay development there is no CEO deciding things. Everything blackcoin has done was done by volunteers and enthusiasts because they wanted to do it.
Blackcoin is honest and humble, it doesn't ride hypes and it doesn't scam money of people.
Blackcoin's PoS guarantees a good decentralisation but unlike many other coins, it's also decentralized in the community.
A few of these points might be a disbenefit in a market that's driven by scams, hypes, con artists and deception, but it follows a principle of "the people coin". Everyone can create stuff for blackcoin and help moving it.

However there will be, hopefully soon, a non-profit for Blackcoin to organize donations to marketing and dev funds. In my personal oppinion this can't come soon enough. Let's hope the community keeps up with that.
