it's difficult for xlm to rise to 9x this year
There's nothing that we can say in certain manner, the value will rise to that level if there's more traders and investors choosing this coin for their investment, it's just between the supply and demand and how people inside this industry will treat certain project, no one can predict what tomorrow
will bring to your assets, only you alone needs to assess and invest for your own benefits.
but still it is impossible, with many people selling it difficult to ride. and I think he's right this 2019 is still too fast for XLM to rise. maybe 2020 or even longer we can only see this coin going up.
