I am inclined to agree with you there. 7K ~ 8K is about the right valuation right now, but there is great potential for improvement over time. Stability would be good and we could do without the "boom and bust" scenarios, but having witnessed the buying support when prices start to tumble I am always sure that it is only a temporary condition. My impression was that the last dip in XMG price was largely due to one or two individuals determined to shed their XMG quickly for whatever reasons. This always causes a dip in the price, since shrewd buyers will immediately drop their bid prices in response, sellers will drop their ask price in response to that and so it goes around, until the brief excess supply of coins is bought up (cheaply).
If people would just hold onto their coins and not sell them at silly prices ....
It think the point is that most of people are scared by the pump and dump mechanism and, at a lower level, there is a big confusion between and asset and a coin.
Cryptocurrencies were born with the idea of becoming "real money", something you could use for buying things without all the banks and governements shits. At the moment they almost are entirely an asset. Something you buy, sell and trade but when you wanna buy milk, you don't use bitcoin, you use traditional money. The reasons of this are complicated and I'm unfortunately not someone who could say something meaningful about it. I honestly believe one of the focal point is that all this crypto stuff is utterly complicated. I can't imagine my granma going buying bread using 3 wallets, 5 apps and whatever, she just open her purse, takes some old coins and stop, everything is finished. She doesn't need to worry about orphaned blockchaines, wallet bugs or chinese hackers stealing her money.
Cryptocurrency are all more or less at the trade-for-fun level, they're all flawed with huge volatility to be really peceived as currencies. Trading coins can be fun, if you have some basic data analisis skills you can make some profit selling high a buying low but at the end of the day you want to buy a bottle of scotch, a car or putting money into the pants of a stripper, and all of this can't be made with cryptos.
If magi manages to remain stable while still growing, it can gain the trust needed to be used as a currency, or, at least, something you can jump back beetwen a trade raid and the next one.
Btw, after all the philosophical stuff, if magi remain volatile, at least let's make it grows untill 100 usd each, as already mentioned, I have a mortgage!!
