Maybe the XC team should think about open sourcing the code as the marketcap of XC seems to adopt the price of the other blocknet coins.
I think investors loose trust in this closed coin. At least an open discussion should be started what the majority of the investors think.
Opensourcing darkcoin didn't lead to a price drop for DRK and to no copy&paste clones at least none that I am aware of.
I stated this before that i don't think it's a good idea to join forces with coins that had a that small marketcap but as it seems soon we
will have an equal marketcap which is the worst thing that could have happend. We lost more than 20% just for today ...
I see no reason for XC to take on a marketcap of other Blocknet coins.
Its superior tech has supported its price, and joining the Blocknet does not diminish its value. On the contrary, it enhances its value and will only make XC's leadership more visible as users get to try out XC's services in comparison to others.
So what could be causing the drop?
My guess is that this is a temporary phenomenon caused by the inability to sell XC for BLOCK. After the Blocknet ITO is done (and possibly gets pumped) there's reason to believe that coins will flow back into participating currencies and XC's price will rise somewhat.
the ITO began some days ago but XC is bleeding since weeks. I don't think that the ITO is repsonsible for the drop, the price is bleeding because of a lack of investors and I think the closed source code is one reason why a lot of people wouldn't buy into this coin at least when i compare how other "anonymous" centered coins like BTCD,DRK and others perfrom all of them have a much higher marketcap than XC
In two weeks XC lost more than 60% of it's value
That logic is completely broken
Bitcoindark has lost even more value than XC has over the last 90 days. They also are building supernet. (maybe not as much now after this anal hemorrhage of a dump again)
Darkcoin was at its highest value and was worth about 10 times more than all anon coins put together, when they were still closed source.........they were worth more closed source . so saying people are not liking closed source projects , when almost every single anon coin, open and closed source has seen a decrease in value of almost 50% over the last few months. some with huge projects in hand . The market for almost every single coin looks the same, like 90% of coins have a very distinctive downtrend with a loss of value of about 50% or more in the last 3 months. Trying to come up with specific reasons for single coins going down when all are showing similar signs is completely useless .
