Guys, what's happening to the price of DGB?
DGB got listed on Coinmarketcap, nothing happend. (other coins profit from a listing)
DGB got in the top position at coinwarz, nothing happend.
New listing at coinedup.com, nothing happens (okay, was up for a very short while)
The lack of an epic pump and dump after listing at a given exchange/service != failure.
The value of the coin is up, in a way that might be sustainable == epic win.
I don't mean P&D, but when a coin is listed on a new exchange or on coinmarketcap, it has a boost through new people buying DGB.
This hasn't happend. Why?
You could say that the value of the coin is up, but where?
I've been looking at coinmarket.io for days but the price there has been hovering around 150-170.
Volume is up 3 fold on coinmarket.io. I don't have the API link handy, but I would bet that with the coinedup volume added to that the volume is up closer to 5-10 fold. That alone is value, without a price increase. Watching the markets and complaining about a price that isn't doing what you expect is an age old mistake counseled against in nearly every investment text ever written. I think the confusion is in our definition of value. I don't base my valuation of the coin on the coinedup/coinmarket ticker price. Especially not this early in the coin's life. Prices don't exist in a vacuum; in a perfect market they are simply a reflection of perceived value. This is by no means even an translucent market - it is nearly opaque. That means prices veer far and wide from actual value. DGB was up over 300 a couple weeks ago, and was up again for a very short period after being listed of coinedup. That is the effect of the market clearing up a bit and at least some people perceiving value.
Honestly, the longer it takes folks to see the value, the longer the difficulty and price stays lower. From a selfish perspective, that is opportunity.
Eventually, there is either value or there is not, and the market responds (at least in part) accordingly. So, if your question is why did DigiByte not go "To The Moon!!!!" when it was listed on CoinWarz and CoinedUp: I would suggest it likely has to do with a sentiment of fear that had developed over the period in which it took a while to be listed. That resulted in a certain amount of "dump" by people who had been afraid for a period of time that it was never going to happen, and this counter-balanced some of the buy orders that entered the books in the new market. That would explain the large increase in volume but the relatively conservative change in price.
So, when I say there has been an increase in value, I am not suggesting that you can trade your DGB for more BTC in the market at the moment. I am suggesting that by inclusion in some of these community staple 3rd party services the real 'value' of the coin has increased. Whether that is reflected in the current market place is independent of whether or not the value has increased.
