I bought some GRC coins because I think the coin will be great. I hope to buy again.

I also bought some GRC coin but the price of GRC is not moving may be we have to wait. I hope GRC is a long term investment where we can make some huge if we kept on holding the coins may be.

...

Many people still have a different expectation on GRC ...

So far most activity in coins has been buyers speculating on miner's issues and shortterm commercial appeal e.g. pumpability of a coin.

Soon there will be mainstream interest in coins probably, along with opinions and publicity based on very high levels of scrutiny.

Coins like GRC should start doing much better than the coins that have been pumped on big name developers, ico's etc. Look at all of the coins more expensive than GRC, currently # 73 / 49 on cmc top 100 / all. Most of those higher market cap coins have been inflated by their supporters to gain market share and visibility, while grc has no pumpers, nobody has manipulated the price temporarily upward for short term profit as with many other coins.

Some advice for people buying coins like this.

If you are a new person wanting to buy a coin, you don't need to rush in and push the price up, since the price will usually just drop back down eventually.

If you buy some then put an order in to buy more at a slightly higher price, then usually you can wait a day or two and you will get the order filled, you will get more coins for the same amount of money. Not always, but usually.

I agree, purely for advertising than anything else. In other areas where yo u read up on Gridcoin they're always talking about where and how to advertise. Meanwhile clone coins are pump n dumping aka Gollem at the moment.
Gridcoin is a bit different, since it's currently the only coin rewarding BOINC computations and there are over 4 million registered BOINC users. However, BOINC existed long before Bitcoin and the vast majority of BOINC users still don't care about crypto and they certainly don't follow bitcointalk, so some 'old fashioned' BOINC-related advertising is necessary to reach them. But for attracting crypto-investors, I agree, our increased presence here would be worthwhile

If a person first hears about GRC from CoinMarketCap, they click on the Ann link and are sent to an obscure forum whose last post was 2016.

Almost all coins provide a better "quick glance" appearance than Gridcoin.

But if a person does a little research and finds this thread and other resources, GRC is one of the few coins that could realistically surpass btc.

edit to add

CMC links to a 10 page thread with no activity https://cryptocurrencytalk.com/topic/31900-anngrc-gridcoin-research-a-secure-blockchain-developed-on-the-philosophy-of-benefiting-humanity/

but does not link to https://cryptocurrencytalk.com/topic/1331-new-coin-launch-announcement-grc-gridcoin/?page=1254 a 1,000 page discussion lol

Is it worth to buy @ present price .....?
What will be the future of this coin....?
Golem, which is also targeting distributed computing segment, still has marketcap ~14x higher than Gridcoin, despite having less functionality (just a distributing rendering prototype vs fully functional general-purpose BOINC computing platform used by Gridcoin). So yes, I would say there's plenty of room for further growth. The future is in monetized and commercial BOINC projects which will distribute Gridcoin to their crunchers, obtaining a lot of computing power at very affordable prices.

Some quick info on development:
The code is busy being refactored and optimized.
Development is now taking place in three branches, development, staging and master.
Already some commits have trickled through to master. A major overhaul in maintainability and a new ui is on its way from development to staging.
If anyone is up for it, the testnet is now also being used again to test changes in the development and staging branches to ensure that only hardened and well tested code enters the master branch.

Finally it can get some recognition, and hopefully people actually read up on it. Certainly worth more then most coins. Should be BTC, LTC (not sure why maybe im a traditionalist) then GRC.
