I'm the one that sold you all that Drk in the 20's, and in the 15's, and at 10 too. Drk is going down. It's a piece of garbage scam, simple as that. You can defend it all you want, blah, blah, blah. It's a scam. Drk is dead. I repeat, Drk is dead. Drk is dead.
I see you're talking from a purely speculatory perspective - the perspective of 99% of the crypto noobs who are only chasing the next hype coin having the best buzz words and promises of future features from the devs.
Thing is, Darkcoin's code is soon being open sourced, which enables privacy appreciative merchants to accept it as a form of payment. When that happens, Darkcoin will be the first and only privacy coin that allows full adoption. Other coins still have a lot of work to do to reach that point. Darkcoin has the tech, easy usage, easy adoptability for merchants, and, a big and trusted USD exchange for merchants to convert to fiat, and buyers to buy with fiat - Bitfinex. Darkcoin is just so much ahead of the competition that it might very well just scoop up the whole market.
Darkcoin is moving from the the speculation phase to the adoption phase. It's far from... "dead".
It's dead to me because it is a scam and is spinning off further scams and scam type behavior. Dead.
Buzz words: 'Crypto noobs,' 'hype coin,' 'open-sourced,' 'privacy appreciative,' 'first and only,' 'full adoption,' 'tech,' 'easy usage,' 'easy adoptability,' 'big and trusted,' 'fiat,' 'speculation phase,' 'adoption phase.'
See what I did there.
Sells in the 20's based on 'speculatory perspective.' Sells in the 15's based on balancing, sells in the 10's based on realizing how much of a scam the coin is and the moves they've tried to pull. Whether you like my viewpoint or not doesn't change the fact that your favorite coin is overvalued to the rest of its competitors.
Trade still in play; sell/short Drk, buy/long basket of Cloak and other anon coins if you want a balanced portfolio. Cloak being the best value proposition IMHO.
