Hi everyone,
seen a few comments of people saying "if the swap price is 5000 sats then why are we sitting at a fifth of the value?" so i thought i would be best to address the situation with a few points.
1) the swap to the new coin wont be until january and we haven't actually delivered anything yet so theres no solid fact for people to pump the price
2) I set a rate in the first place for the new coin because we are going to have a wide range of coins taking part and we needed some form of benchmark
3) Cerium is a 1:1 ratio because its the leader of this iniative and a lot of the community have held and supported XCE through the good and bad times and i thought it would be a nice incentive to push up the price to say thank you to them
4) Cerium is being traded on a market, where each trader has thier own game or strategy. If i was trading from a purely neutral trading perspective i would want the price to remain low to accumulate before the actual transition happens.
5) People who have been put off by lack of buy support, Cerium's main market is on yobit, although a good exchange is not known for its consistant level of volume and therefor its hard to make any sort of fluid market. I personally have focued on actually taking cerium somewhere and never focused on the price or been into manipulating the market to make it look good. Also the main reason people use Yobit is to bag some bargains. If you look at 90% of the markets theres more than a 50% spread.
from a more personal note, i would love to see the price go up but its a market and nothing ever goes as expected or by market laws there would be no one to make profit from. It baffles me people are looking at the price rather than the actual plan and what we could deliver here. If you are going to buy, buy on the potential for development rather than the potential for profit.
Also a small update about cerium combine, still approaching coins i think could fit well into the idea but of course people are welcome to contact me about coins as the ann says, any coin is welcome to participate if they can contribute to the new coin in some form. Theres a new cerium slack and its beginning to build up in numbers a little been some chat about things from myself and others that hasnt been on the thread. you can find links and details on the front page of
