I'm in the DRK very long term, possibly with a large part as a permanent store of value - as weird as it may sound.
If nothing bad happens, I can't see the point of changing all into BTC, or worse yet FIAT and get all the money on the whim of banks/gov.
Private, anonymous store of value and transactions...can't get much better than that.
I got several colleagues, friends, family with sizeable stashes into crypto too (they mostly got DRK, and a bit of BTC too), none so far even think about selling too, most is long term, on 1-2 year "schedule"
For all the people shouting "bubble"..."gunna crash"... etc etc and for all the people who are thinking it's too late to get in, just read that above.
This pretty much sums up my mentality.
Now go and look at the 12 month litecoin graph, if you can't be bothered, you shouldn't be here.
Now ask yourself why people have been busy little bees mining, mining, mining DRK for weeks on end whilst it has not been profitable to do so.
Now think about all the fundamentals that the calmer more enlightened people have been painstakingly repeating for your benefit one more time.
Now with all that in mind, go read this again....
I've been mining, buying and holding every single coin since February, it was a fun 3 months:
0.0005 to 0.002 rise after Darksend testnet success
0.002 to 0.001 drop after DRK got bought and dumped with BTC stolen by someone on Poloniex
0.001 to 0.0015 hover all the way through March with Evan and community quietly grinding stones on the project
0.0015 to 0.0035 rise and some people saying "oh it'll drop back to 0.001, it's a pump and dump!"
0.0035 to 0.005 rise and some people saying "oh it'll drop back to 0.001, it's a pump and dump!"
0.005 to 0.006 rise and some people saying "oh it'll drop back to 0.001, it's a pump and dump!"
now 0.01 and people still saying pump and dump.
Sure, there will be corrections, people want to take profits, traders want to trade, but any pump in the DRK world ends in the higher floor, end of story.
(my bolding)
NOW DO YOU GET IT??
