It started from Twitter account "CryptoFactor" announcing a pump -> minor rise in price, then BTCWhale picked it up and retweeted + made a pump thread on Bitcointalk -> volume and price started going up.

No, he is just a small time thug scamming noobs everyday for a few BTC.

Edit: BTCWhale. Cryptofactor is not a part of his scam circle.

This price jump is nothing compared to AUR, UTC and MZC. So far...

If BlackCoin was a rubbish coin i'd tend to agree, but it is a good coin, undervalued, this is not coming down any time soon. The pump may take it to 5,000 or 10,000 but it's value is more than even the current 1,000. I'd estimate it will settle (after pump) around 2,500.

Yeah, i'm just speculating what started this upwards trend.

That's because there is little supply unlike mzc(which was multipooled to shit) and aur(which was premined to shit)

Only way this can go down is to convince people to sell that just bought it to sell for less then they bought, and typically people are stubborn enough to hold even after a 20-30% draw-down without much effort. This drawn-down has not occurred, there is no outside supply.

Think about it, with as little as 1 BTC, you can buy enough coins to be part of the top 100 holders.

I like how fast I send transfer with bc it has to be at least 1/5 the wait of btc.

Have you checked www.reddit.com/r/litecoinmining ? They got pretty much everything you could want.
