I am optimistic ofcourse that if the dev's follow through with their roadmap then we are going up in terms of bitcoin by multiples, the amount of multiples is anyones guess.
Now, we would go straight to the top 10 if the devs implement the marketplace which allows the free selling of anything. This alone would create a lot of buzz and media attention. People using blackmarkets in TOR would flock to the silkcoin marketplace. Actually I would love if their would be a community driven voting system where certain types of goods could be voted to be taken off the market. In other words the community decides what is allowed or not allowed to be sold on the marketplace. This would remove the developers responsibility to flag certain goods and put it into the communities hands.
Also think of the implications of just selling everyday goods on the marketplace instead of ebay, no more 10% fees per item and little to no more listing restrictions. A marketplace owned by all of us.
The OpenBazzar project (AKA darkmarket) has seen a lot of media attention and buzz already just imagine if the eco-system beats them too it, silkcoin would become a household name.
So when you say 10x is highly unlikely it should be rephrased to a "complete unknown", as you are just judging from your previous trade experiences. The reality is the market does not know or has decided what the value of silkcoin will be with these never before seen innovations.
(Note: I am a fan of Terrence Mckenna and a lot of his philosophy on certain mind altering substances, It is not as simple as "drugs are bad Mmmmkayyy", i'll just leave it at that)
