Shadow's price has been stable since it's launch July 19th of 2014. It's innovated numerous cryptocurrency firsts everything from lite, mobile wallets and stealth addresses to Html5 browser based framework integrated into a single crypto application. Even more, it is the first true anonymous coin for the Satoshi codebase. In the last 10 months, it has effectively received zero press from a publication with over 100k daily uniques. All that has changed. Shadow effectively bypassed the traditional cryptocurrency gatekeepers of coindesk and cointelegraph and went straight to the top tier press. That is unheard of and because of that fact it's more impressive than Darkcoin's original Wired article; which by the way was the precursor to it's massive pump to almost $20 a coin.

The developers are still here actively working on the project and for their efforts the coin is still sitting in shitcoin marketcap territory according to http://coinmarketcap.com.

Any top tier traders with a clue will be inhaling any dumps from the top 25%'ers and be laughing at them when the coin is in the top 5 market caps. This is a transitional period for SDC traders. Some of those who have been holding on to the coin for the last 10 or so months will pass their coins on to real market movers who will take this coin into the top five caps. Those that do sell off will continue to trade in the lower tier coin brackets, while Shadow will become a top tier coin as far as marketcap is concerned. There's nothing wrong with taking profit after holding for so many months but in doing so they will lose in the long run. I've seen it happen over and over again. While some people might look at it negatively; its an accumulation period for the heavy traders that hold 100s and 1000s of BTC.

Besides profit takers, the only dips I see happening is due to the lack of Bitcoin liquidity on the weekend. Banks are closed and it's near impossible to move large funds into BTC.

In my experience asking and promoting dumps is done by people looking to catch them. The real traders that move markets literally move in the Shadows and let the charts speak for themselves. If you can read charts then you can see by the buying trend that someone or some group is buying up the sell side and letting it build up again and then rinsing and repeating the same process. That is textbook whale accumulation. 8 cents to 15 cents is nothing for the work here and whales know this coin is going to the top. Shadow should be on par or higher than Darkcoin's marketcap and that means we are talking about dollars not cents.

Those who have BTC are at an advantage over those who still are converting fiat into BTC. Come the Monday when the traditional financial markets open up again, that advantage will be over.

Recap:

A) Declined Darkcoin buyout offer

B) Declined XC Buy out offer

C) Declined Blocknet inclusion

D) Declined Supernet inclusion

E) Declined offers from pump groups to trade tech for pumps

The bullet points are the foundation of a top tier cryptocurrency that can stand on its own legs. Anyone new to the project should understand what this coin has been through to get here. It's survived attacks by hired Bitcointalk trolls, the offers from pump groups and competing coins. All this and Shadow remains stronger than ever. It's all a recipe for success.
