It traded in the 9s-10s around then and around 8 at the start of this year. Ox's post was prescient, that's probably near when I started seriously following the protocol and then their hard fork due to the dao theft and how they handled it was interesting and troubling. The potential bitcoin upcoming hard fork will be interesting too. Software architecture matters like that don't count -NOW- while certain Asian countries and other jobbers and speculators bid these things to the moon. If only I appreciated that more I could have doubled my bets several months ago. ;-) The ENS idea is interesting but never researched enough to make my bids, probably my mistake but will look into when free time. I like this chart a lot, is there a comparable one for the late 1990s USA and or global ipo market? coinmarketcap.com The number of types of altcoins out there is much greater now than the 2013-2014 bitcoin move and growing all the time. Aside from first mover advantage of platforms like bitcoin, litecoin, etc., or broader use of blockchain in newer platforms like ethereum, what is the barrier to entry on the blockchain code itself other than a mass of users not unlike most social media and search sites? That is one issue I haven't gotten past except to say the underlying blockchain technology has potential yet to be realized that may or may not be in relation to the current speculative bidding in various altcoins. Another chart I saw, totally unrelated but think of it like old time TA guys trying to make sense of these BTC waves... a comparison of gold 1976-1980 and BTC 2013-2017. You can guess where BTC is right now by their analog! ;-) Unsure if allowed to post but may anyway, still haven't figured if the scaling is correct but this was put out by TA house of tbtf that rhymes with citybank, haha.
