I'm not sure why you expect the price to surge (and also I don't understand why it is surging now). There are no ICOs on Lisk and no ICOs are planned. I believe EOS will come in soon and may put Lisk and many other projects aside.
Is a good coin but...why you compare it to LSK???
I believe no coin out there had so much potential like Lisk
You might wanna see through long time price chart, it has a reason that the price (in $) never drop as hard as other coins. Cause there so many people got faith on it. Just like me
And that not a surge, it's a symbolize of faith
