...Quite a lot of headroom for EGC price growth...
Very interesting comparison indeed, Port. I thank you for not only contrasting the two, but for sharing the results.
Yes, a lot of headroom, agreed. With all due respect to Auroracoin, a project I do very much admire for many reasons and many levels, they have had a much, much longer development timespan. I do think EGC will obtain a comparable price level in the not-too-distant future. EGC being roughly twice as scarce and full PoS in ~2 months will not only cease, with exclusion of newly generated PoS coins, the stream of newly generated coin supply and in-turn drive demand.
It will be also very interesting to see this play out, coincidentally and not by initial design, during about the same time demand for EGC will increase for the solar miner as EGC will be the only accepted payment method. This is of course with the possible exclusion of a similar like-mined project being built into the solar miner as that currency most likely would be an accepted payment method as well. No communication has happened with any other project for inclusion at this time but, we have mentioned it here and it does still very much remain a possibility. The topic does remain under discussion of the team and of course the community is welcome to chime in.
It is again, an interesting comparison. EGC is not a "country coin" and is more of a "cause coin" so of course, that must be weighted into the comparison. That said, I am personally very much a proponent of country coins, as I have
publicly stated. I am by no means in competition with Auroracoin, quite the contrary I have immense respect for the project. I do proudly hold a very small amount of both the Icelandic fiat, kept as a souvenir from a recent flight layover in Iceland, and Auroracoin also held as a similar souvenir. I am very much intrigued by the social-financial events in Iceland, not limited to its national crypto.
What does personally interest myself more than the prices folding out, is the cultural aspects as this "great experiment" and "revolution" unfolds. I thank you for the food for thought and am honored by the comparison, Port.
