1) XC has the best Dev in the Alt-Currency community fullstop. Check out his LinkedIn profile, this isn't up for debate.
Credentials look good indeed.

True

True
It's still top 20 marketcap... you can't go top10 in a few days. Seriously. The price went ahead of the fundamentals.
The price did overtake the fundamentals. But it just crashed down way below its true value. It's now going to recover.
Edit: and just to answer you like other coins bit, it doesn't matter what other coins have planned. This is the first coin I've seen in a while with a truly excellent DEV. This is all that matters. This guy is an absolute genius. The same type of genius that made bitcoin what it is today. This is the most important thing by a mile. You can have everything looking great on paper, but without the propper person to put it all together, its going to fail.
Look at what's been accomplished in less than a month, and imagine what's going to get accomplished in the next month. Then imagine three.
I wouldn't be here if I didn't think I could make a ridiculous amount of money buying this stock. And now I have, at ridiculously low prices.
Anyways, enough defending this project. The Dev speaks for himself with the work he does.
Enjoy.
