Usually, movements in the market tend to have a relationship to each other - "the bigger the base, the higher in space; the bigger the top, the bigger the drop; and the bigger the drop, the longer the need for repair".

Well, XC is following the same pattern as DRK, which also held a base of ~150k sat for around a month, before it took off to what it is stabilized at today. But the only advantage DRK holds right now over XC is being first mover. At the rate of XC development, it will likely over run DRK at some point. Both coins are still in a "beta" phase, so, whoever can deliver a complete anon product first will have a big advantage.
But just as important as a completed anon package, is consumer adoption, or, looking at the bigger picture. I think that is where XC holds an advantage over DRK, as XC team seems to be strongly geared towards taking steps in this regard. The fact that atcsecure was CEO of his own tech security firm gives me the confidence that he knows what the bigger picture is, and knows what steps XC needs to take. XC TOR portable wallets is a great step towards ease of use and ultimately, mass adoption.
