These fucking pump groups and any devs feeding them information are a god damn disease to crypto!
Quite unfortunately, pumps are one of the only things that get cryptocurrencies noticed. Before the pump, DarkCoin used to be a hidden gem, and anonymity wasn't a trend. After the pump, people like Max Keiser noticed DarkCoin, and many other currencies tried to copy it (anonymity features and X11 algo). Simply said, DarkCoin's pump to 0.03 BTC managed to bring it out to the light.
DogeCoin wouldn't have been much without the pump, (was 1 sat, was pumped to 200+ sats), and wouldn't have reached that many people it has today.
BITCOIN wouldn't have been as widespread if it wasn't pumped to $250, and then to $1.2K.
See, pumps are bittersweet. The price rockets up, and may inevitably come tumbling down in a correction, but in the process, the participants of the pump get to know the currency they are holding. "Oh, this has a new mining algo, ASIC n' GPU resistant", and "M7M? Never heard of that before, must be something new". And thats how news is spread. "Hey man, there's this currency with a CPU-only algo, and the price is mooning" or "Guys, this currency with M7M mining algo is about to become the next BitCoin".
Amidst the hype, that's where you'll find your dedicated investors. The investors that don't lose their bags in a 30% gain, but hold on to your currency because you are offering innovation; something many of cryptocurrencies lack.
