If I did use different terminology to describe Factom and Etherum price movements, that s not intentional, after all English is not my first language.
I agree with you on the investor side. IMO Factom devs are much too dismissive about the speculators. It is us who will provide the liquidity for the federated servers to dump their coins on, ultimately providing an income for them. Or if the federated servers sell back tokens to have on the factom store front then why in the F did they ever have factoms/oids on an exchange in the first place.
Clearly you dont understand FACTOM...or you are simply another troll...maybe this link will help.

He understands the situation very well. Factom team needed ICQ investors to fund their development. A fact. Now they could not care less whether people trade, own, invest into Factoid or not. A fact. Simply due to the fact there s another way to use their product, by directly purcashing entry credits. A fact.
Again this is a viable business strategy, something lots of owners of tech startups would do. Simply deliver a product and make money, regardless of a few thousands naive investors who expected to gain something by investing into Factoids. So pls, let us stop selling BS story about Factom being all rainbows and sunshine. This is why I like Ether more.
Entry credits are great. Because users do not have to subject themselves to the volatility of FCT. Besides thats not where FCT will get its value from. The servers are where FCT will derive its value from. The more servers supporting the network/ the bigger the network gets...the value of FCT will increase in return. Quite beautiful really. You just need to wrap your head around how the system works. Read the white paper and re read this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/fct-factom-how-factoids-work-price-speculation-1521895
