Congrats to all community to get new ATH block is still huge undervalued coin with its great technology. Once UI will get completed and after HF price will move to the moon now it's just preparing for big explosion.
Once UI is released everyone will try to buy block tokens to set up nodes and receive huge gains. More nodes mean less coins on the market. Less coins mean higher price. To the moon guys!!! 1 Block=$50 this summer!!!
Yeah, service nodes will totally incentivize holding the coin - just like Dash.
Once the UI is released, it should make it very easy to trade - the only thing is that it's more technically hard to setup the trading node (need to run blocknet trading node + coin nodes + some configuration). But this should improve over time with a good UI/UX and I think most crypto people are technologically savvy enough anyway. And imagine if we were able to trade directly from our hardware wallets (just need to confirm the trade order on the device). I guess more work needs to be done on the SPV clients for that to work, though. That would be a huge win.
I think the Blocknet DX could also act as a good replacement for escrows (say two people want to exchange coins off-Poloniex at the market rate, without affecting current orders or incurring expensive exchange fees) - we would just need a similar dApp for that functionality.
This is easily a top 30 coin once the UI is released.
