The total coins is too small at the moment and big shark are waiting to swallow millions but the supply is only thousands. Buying volume does not mean anything as the shark will pop the price when mining network hashrate increases.
This is new crypto and many miners are still struggling to optimize the mining rig or get it running. The difficulty will means development of ASIC much longer. It took a year to develop scrypt ASIC and probably 3 to 5 years for a memory upgradable ASIC solutions. At such low price it will deter the ASIC hardware investment as well. Currently there is no sustainable buying volume and I see VTC prices will stabalise eventually to 0.023 ~ 0.026 this 2 days and until the selling volume hit 1,000,000 .... 1 day mining produce 50 x 60 / 2.5 x 24 = VTC = 28800. If Invester want $30k a day a mining a year only make $10 million which is only 15% of DOGE capitalization.
To scale up the usable network to have $1 billion network in a year you need VTC price up 100x which is more profitable than LTC of price up 60x in a year.
Direct USD conversion will be 1 VTC = $100 USD instead of $1 now.
So the network hashrate need to scale up by 100x from now 4GH to 400GH/s or 500% LTC network. Holding 10k VTC will be millionaire equivalent.
Well your math checks out, but since I'm no economy master I'll trust you on the logic
Thanks and please keep posting your thoughts like that
Values are psychological and crypto is the right place. All commodties weight by physical units like pounds, units of quantity, one dozen etc.
Naked short selling is not possible but a 51% could be given such a low network hashrate now. Fortunately most scrypt are ASIC and I guess there are at least 100GH/s scrypt are ASIC now as DOGE is easily pump up and down at will and 80% DOGE concentrated in less than 0.8% address has proven the ASIC centralization has happened.
VERT is speculation proof and difficult to scale up like DOGE due to expensive DDR RAM. I wish before network expand, miners can implement human proof as a decentralize as mining activities is still 100% machine and very less human required. Which means bankers are machines and not human. To make crypto more human it must have human factor inside and ID password with 2FF or multiple authentication with pictures helps as a proof of human interactions
You can add sound authentication as well.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2453515,00.aspMiner client can even implement sound authentication on top of digital authentication.
The key is not about authntication but a proof that each miner is a human instead of a dead ASIC zombie is more important factor of decentralization. If the miners are decentralize by region, it is easily done in the network address resolution congestion diversion algorithm. Example of theory: ( Take note that the theory applies on physical optical network but the same concept can applies to hashing power )

To achieve human recognition, this a BitMessage can be used to broadcast a Message randomly into the wallet address of miners and miners need to response with an answer during the deposit process. VTC can be the postage fee for anyone who want to use encrypted BitMessge service provided by the VTC network.
