I'm sad that Via didn't get the spike that vertcoin got, they deserved it. Excited about the ATM's for sure!
VIA had a mega-run at the 1st half of 2017, much sooner and in percentage much bigger then VERT. Hopefully, likely, when mass-adoption of crypto will continue, 2018 potentially can be breath-taking for VIA. Simply cool work is done and Romano has build a great reputation. We need to have patience and let BTC to continue its crazy rally (who had ever thought this rally would continue so much after 10k$) until some sort of cool down period will start.
Best what VIA supporters can do until that time is to spread the word and mention Vaicoin as much as possible in the crypto space and in social media. That's how things work in marketing: repetition, repetition. There are so many new people entering the space, who will discover that Crypto is much more then just BTC. Same how we all entered this space. Generally most alts sit in the same ship. To start any premature rally before 'altseason' is a waste of energy and efforts and will unnecessary exhaust resources. This year 2017 altseason started more or less in March. Since we can not expect anything to repeat the same (BTC/alts: 'expect the unexpected'), nothing is set in stone. My take: relax, buy more when price in satoshi would go down to lower your average and have patience and confidence in the middle/longterm. It is not anymore the early adopter space, but still those who bought over the last period and now can be considered late-early or early-middle adopters.
