- Whitecoin is technically almost identical to Blackcoin but with slightly different parameters. This makes Whitecoin appear as if it could achieve the same utility as a store of value.
- Whitecoin's obvious similarities to Blackcoin interest people, and thus there is anticipation of it matching Blackcoin which has driven a lot of the buying so far.
- This uncertainty means there may be speculation on whether Whitecoin can surpass Blackcoin's all time high. This speculation may create an even bigger bubble than Blackcoin.
- After the first Whitecoin bubble ends, the price will decrease significantly which will cause many Blackcoin holders to sell Blackcoin to buy cheap Whitecoins, which will contribute to a yoyo effect between both currencies.
- This yoyo effect could become self sustaining and fuel even higher levels of speculation until equilibrium is reached.
- Proof of Work hasn't ended yet, which is holding the price down.
- To match Blackcoin's market cap at 300 million total coins by Wednesday when PoW ends, then Whitecoin would be at .00011 but it is currently at .0000195. That means that once Proof of Work ends then Whitecoin should be at least 5 times more valuable than it is currently. Blackcoin could rise even more by then as well which will create the expectation that Whitecoin should go that much higher.
The problem I'm seeing on this thread is that people think BC became successful just because it was PoS and had a MultiPool .. this is wrong.. BC is successful because of it's community. WC has to build a community... Without that.. WC will be another FairCoin, MintCoin and any other PoS besides BC.
Don't be fooled into thinking just copying a coins codebase means it will have the same success lol.
This situation is no different than from when Aurura coin came out and then there were 20 different "country" coins trying to copy the success in the next 2 weeks. None of them did.
Not a great example as country coins are flawed anyway (everyday person will just dump them for the free money).
