Actually the USD price of KMD is probably about the same as the ICO price. BTC was worth half as much back then.
Not sure why people keep saying this. Is it to make yourself or others feel better about the current price? Sure, KMD price may be about the same in terms of USD, but I think it's more important to look at things in terms of BTC. After all, one of the objectives of SuperNET is to work with BTC to increase its value and thereby increasing the value of alts like KMD. If BTC goes up and Komodo goes down, that's counterproductive. Of course, the market doesn't always react this way. But I wouldn't consider BTC going up while KMD goes down or stays the same a good thing.
If you base everything on BTC, unless you are the pump of the day, none can keep up with BTC when it is mooning.
In regards to the price, there is nothing the dev team can do. Only a small amount of KMD is being traded at these prices so if you want to take that as a indicator that is the true value of KMD then nothing I say can change your mind.
We have the most technically advanced anon tech on the market and we offer a value proposition that is beyond all other coins in the top 20-30 potentially. KMD is working towards a more stable and user friendly release but if KMD holders wants the price to increase, help us test it and spread the word. We will have marketing campaigns when the time is right but nothing beats word of mouth.
