Its highly likely now we'll see 0.006 and below, hopefully this will still be above dogecoins marketcap...
Not if Kristov releases something. Fingers crossed.
Whether it is Kritov's review or some other event, nothing is required to "save" DRK because it doesn't need saving.
Once all the tech is released and mostly bug free (which is NOT the case right now) there will be a big push for adoption. Right now the only people who know about RC4 are supporters who have already bought in and traders/whales who the vast majority of are greedy cancers and are likely manipulating things to a certain extent.
For the marketcap to grow new people are needed -- and to get new people the coin will have to be completed and then marketed. I can't imagine DRK is still at this low price level 6 months or 1 year from now... which is why I hold.
I personally think it will take less time than that. Indicators of adoption take dark from theoretical to real. Also if things start being priced in DRK value is established off the trading floor.
Exchanges as weird things as they establish the value of coins in terms of another coin and thereby by proxy or directly in fiat which is kind of defeating the point of cryptocurrencies.
Ignoring dollar value.. How many drk would you hand over for your favourite beer?
It may be quicker. The key for me is how fast the tech gets sorted out. If that only takes 1-2 months then we will see adoption quicker.
As for the question, it is hard to answer because it is tricky to say how much I would pay without considering the current or even my personal expected fiat value in the future since there aren't really any references (i.e. other everyday items priced in DRK). Forced to answer I would say a 1 DRK or so but I really don't know.
It's a tough question isn't it? I chose a beer because it's a good way to judge the cost of living in a country. How much does a standard beer cost in a bar.
If you look at crypto as a unit of barter not a fiat value amalgam it's starts becoming how difficult was the unit of barter to acquire. By that logic people who acquired early would actually price things lower than people who have had to mine longer/payed a higher price for their drk. I'd say 0.2 for a standard bottled beer. 0.5 for a draft of real beer (ale).
Now let's say alcohol is prohibited where you live. How much is that beer worth in DRK?
I'm in Japan (though not Japanese) and to get a pint of good imported ale in a bar costs the equivalent of $9. Furthermore, I did get into DRK fairly early which may be why I am willing to part with more than you (though not $9 worth
). Of course if alcohol was prohibited out here then a beer would be worth 0 DRK (though if you are the type to challenge "the man" then you might pay quite a lot of DRK for smuggled in beer).
In short you are right, the more DRK gets adopted the less the market and the associated traders and whales matter. I think that is a ways off (nobody really even prices anything in BTC without considering the fiat equalivent yet), but it is an interesting discussion.
However, even without adoption to that level, just having a coin that is verifiably anonymous AND easy to use will result in a significant increase in value. Right now the anon is working but buggy and the wallet is not yet easy to use or easy to understand.
