I agree that it is greatly undervalued and a lot of those shitcoins that are POS use Blackcoin developers work in POS for their coins and their updates to it.
Marketing is great but we don't need this to over hype BLK to be a Pump and Dump coin. When it hit 40K sats back in the day it ruined this coin for a lot of new investors that bought towards the top and future investors that saw it as a PnD coin. We will take steady growth will over PnD hype any day but Blackcoin does need to be put out there a bit more since there is more sideways action now than anything. We just need to stay away from over hyping the coin.
What Blackcoin needs most is marketcap. We don't need pump and dump and also actually the BTC price should become irrelevant. That means, Blackcoin needs fiat pairs. The greatest volume Blackcoin has is on BTC38 with CNY.
Blackcoin honestly wants to be an alternative to Bitcoin. Blackcoin promotes PoS as a better alternative to PoW. However to become a true alternative, it needs to be taken serious enough, that means serious fiat pairs on more markets. I can buy Blackcoin with fiat but I can not trade it except for a few examples. To be taken serious it however needs attention. Gamblers kept away from Blackcoin for most of the time now, the market support this coin has, that lifted it from 4k-5k Satoshi to 9k-10k, is mainly from China. However the current fiat price for Blackcoin (~0.25 USD) did remain quite stable and is on the same level like it had 3 years ago in the initial peak when it went to 90k satoshi.
People must see this coin as a reliable alternative to Bitcoin and for that it needs attention. Much much more attention. And with attention comes marketcap and with marketcap comes fiat pairs.
It's like some of Blackoin's most advantages are at the same time it's greatest disadvantages in today's market.
Blackcoin has no scam, no rippoff, no lies, no ICO, no whales. Blackcoin is honest and humble. Blackcoin devs keep humble in the background and value the community. We have no snobs and no shills.
Not being the asshole grants you honesty, but doesn't reward you in market attention.
Now Blackcoin certainly donesn't want to become the assholes. However it could maybe become a little more bold, because it has alot to offer.
