While i do agree with Phazon that betacoin has it's own niche, he jumped the gun saying exploding. I feel bad for those who bought at the highpoint, because anyone could have seen this is just another Pump and dump.
Coins do not just explode overnight from .01cents to 10 dollars and stay at 10 dollars, they average out and naturally settle on a price.
What goes up, must come down.
Excactly like the GREAT bubble Bitcoin. It's gonna blow soon enough. Betacoin on the other hand shows great stability that many cryptos envy. It is 4 months old and achived difficulty and value stability at great level that others took year to reach.
There is good reason for bitcoin and betacoins standings. I'm not going to really comment on Bitcoin, because BTC is on a whole different level then ALL alt-coins. It is the' digital currency. But, times are changing alts are shaking up the foundations of digital currencies.
I firmly believe many stable-priced-coins, like betacoin, with its difficulty, will see a future of success.
