Were you the one who put that 10BTC order up on C-cex in the early days? I remember how amazing that seemed at the time, to see a 10BTC order for DRK. Now it looks like small fry.

Precisely. Best to study old LTC charts. Funny thing is, I was posting about how high it could go this morning. Obviously Darkcoin is only to be used for legal purchases. (Disclaimer) Anyway, as it is relevant I will repost what I was sharing with a private group I run. Clearly this is speculation and not investment advice. I have been mining and recommending DRK since the start, at least that people should do the research on it and make their own calls. I do not sell it, I gather more, that is something I have been very happy with however.

How high can Darkcoin go? It is really about the marketplace creating demand over time, beyond just speculation. The marketplace is not Amazon or even Overstock, it is the Darknet and we all know it. (or should) Countless millions are spent on the Darknet all the time, nobody knows exactly how much, but it is vast.

The crypto most used is Bitcoin which is not anonymous, and even with Dark Wallet it isn't as good at it as Darkcoin is. If people are buying something harmless and legal, this should be fine. If they are buying Marijuana (or other things) which are still illegal in most locations, they might really want to stay as anonymous as possible. Dark Markets appear to be in progress that will accept Darkcoin. Of course they also will accept Bitcoin. So once those are operational it will be very interesting to see what people decide to use. The riskier crypto, or the more private one?

Given the choice for consumers between a much faster more anonymous currency, or a slower easier to trace crypto like BTC, under extreme scrutiny, I think Darkcoin has a good shot. So, how high can Darkcoin go if it actually wins market share? Nobody can be sure, but assuming it gains the market cap of Litecoin, eventually, around $70 a coin. Assuming it starts approaching Bitcoin or "takes over" as the preferred Darknet Crypto, DRK could be worth hundreds a coin!

Without the Marketplace and real world adoption this is all just pure speculation however. So take it at only that. What we know for certain is the tech is sound and built from the ground up with proven technologies that are extremely reliable. The dev team is also one of the best. Most traders I know, that know cryptos, consider DRK one of the only Alts worth investing in.

What about Zerocash, will it be the preferred Darknet Crypto? Various alts? Hard to say, but they won't be the first. As they are experimental it will be some time before they are able to try to challenge Darkcoin (or Bitcoin). Assuming the markets are taking DRK in the future and people are satisfied, newer anon Alts may just like regular Alts today trying to take on Bitcoin. Perhaps with the key difference being something akin to Satoshi never quitting on Bitcoin, and gathering a team of the best to keep working on it full time, improving Bitcoin constantly to keep ahead.

BCN is really old and anon based. Also this coin is super pumped, in my opinion it will crash. Of course the technology is good, just like the BC technology was good, but look what happened. Sudden prince ranges are just not substainable. Lets see what the new levels are after a couple hours. Its just my opinion tho, im gonna remain calm.

We will see.  I'm not an expert but I think I've seen this trend enough.  Worst case scenario for me I'm up 6btc.  Shucks.

Haven't you heard from MINT coin? They (obviously) traded that on MINTpal. Look at the chats.

Huh?

Yet here we are with plenty of online casino and sports betting sites that accept BTC and yet BTC has been acknowledged by the US without insinuation of a ban. Let alone all the negative news as it related BTC to silkroad.

Or, as a real long, support it now and dampen any dumpers... I think your full-of-crap is showing.

I'm up about 1100% now. Wanna know why? Cuz I'm not full of crap. I bought in ignoring the price. I bought in because it's good tech. Not because I wanted to get rich. It means I don't do dumb things like daytrad, panic buy, or panic sell. Or say that I'll support a good idea as soon as it crashes... lols.

DRK actually went down after all of my buys. Mostly because I went in fat enough to bubble c-cex all by myself. I didn't care if I, personally, pushed the number up from .004 to .005 and boned myself in the buy short-term. See where I am now?

I bought BTC at $4. See where I am now? Yeah, it was up to $1200 at one point. Did I lose money? No, I'm up from $4 to $450. Derp.

FUD gamblers never learn... They think they have FA crystal balls guiding them... Make good decisions based on facts and science, not predicting the future. That's all you really need to do.
