Betting on a $6k bitcoin are we @Zoki?

Are you basing that on BTC dropping way below 10K USD in the near future?
My opinion is that BTC saw a bottoming at around 10-11K a few days ago and likely to start its rise again within the month. Its going through a major reshuffle with people selling and newbies/institutions buying. The bubble burst and good chance that the inflow will cause it to start a steady rise within weeks.
MAID seems to be holding up really well too at around 90 cents. I am not confident at all the MAID will drop to 40 cents anytime soon. Not saying it will not, just not in the near future is my opinion.

I concur.
If itâs going to 40 itâll go to 20. But I canât see that happening. Iâd be buying a lot more too if it did! But I think thatâs too good to be true.
My god, one day soon investors are going to wake up to this coin. What a gem.
At my position both directions work splendidly. But thatâs only beacuse I apply this investment wisdom: Only buy something that youâd be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years: Buffett.

I really hope so! 
Itâs inevitable. I keep telling people to get in quick before some serious recognition. Wouldnât at all be surprised to see $10 per coin this year.

I see the money chasers making 100x gains off obvious shitcoins and believing theyâre the next Warren Buffett. They may win today, but stay with this project. We will win the future.

Well this year Maidsafe are going to push marketing which means they feel the network is not going to be too far behind. So this year is ramping up marketing and next year could be exciting. So the price is going to be pushed up because of this marketing and if the theory is right then the network will be proving what the marketing is saying. Unlike other projects David does not believe in hype marketing, so Iâd say/hope the marketing is reflecting what the network is (becoming).
At the beginning of last year no one thought or was certain they would see it at 1$ by the end of 2017. It rose by a massive amount.
Now with marketing rather than the rising tide, you might be right about that 10$ or you may have been conservative.

Weâve seen a 8-9 times increase since one year ago

I prefer log charts to linear scale charts, because they measure the rate of growth. Fortunately coinmarketcap allows you to do that. There was approximately a 10X progression (in $ terms) in 2016, and another approximate 10X progression in 2017, so on the log chart we have the beginnings of what looks like a steady progression or trend. So, by using this as a reference, $10 by the end of 2018 doesnât look unrealistic.

I wouldnât be surprised to see it go up to $50, once people understand how mind-blowing Maidsafe is compared to any other top100 project.

Yes, particularly if both Alpha 3 & 4 are reached with increased awareness on the wave of invigorated marketing
On a tangential note, any thoughts on Substratumâs announcenent that they are in âclosedâ beta testing of their network with data storage nodes and how this might impact MAID price? At best, Substratum can secure the path to the data, but it cannot secure the data itself. I think more could be done to educate the market on that point.

Substratum seems a bit sketchy to me. Itâs hard to get any details about thier tech, probably beacuse there isnât any.
They use blockchain, bad choice, and seem easily subject to censorship. Itâs Late to the party and a bad copy cat of the SAFE network.
Even though they pump half thier money into marketing and not development, MAID is catching up to Substratum fast on the top 100, only 3 below right now.
Edit: as of writing this edit MAID has now overtaken substratum by 4 places in the top 100. Of course things can always change, but it shows the resiliency and quality of this project. I think we will see a lot more positive action on MAIDâS price soon.

What this article describes in my experience is VERY real - unbelievably, extraordinarily and shockingly so. I spoke to someone recently who was new, and wanted to obtain âshitcoin xâ. When I said the best way would be to buy bitcoin and use that to buy âshitcoin xâ, they didnât want to use this approach. They wanted to use a service where they could go straight from fiat to âshitcoin xâ. We all know that would involve paying over the odds.
So they didnât want to go from fiat to bitcoin to shitcoin. Why? Because bitcoin is too expensive! 
I mean⌠despair sets in
These are the things going on at the moment.
Iâve also seen people looking for coins worth pennies because they may go to $10000. They do not consider total supply or market cap. at all! Even after I explain to them, they revert to looking for âcheap coinsâ.
Iâm so uncomfortable

LOL. This is how I found SAFENet. But I was also reading about the projects behind the penny coins.

I think a new market has been added to the Maidsafecoin or has it been that way for a while but it did not show up on coinmarketcap.

Of the top of my head I think it has some association to do with BitTrex.
Donât really follow listings etc but I think I remember reading Upbit is tied into one of their big chat apps.
Anyone know any more?

Iâve had the same thing said to me by many good and successful Crypto traders and investors. That I should never âbelieveâ in anything I invest in. Like⌠Do the cold math, heed the numbers and keep a cool head.
This is because many of these people donât have the time to think beyond the monetary aspect. Theyâre too busy making 300% weekly profits on every coin they bother putting their money in. Should it take longer? Iâm losing money ma! Itâs all just a big fat cow to milk to them.
Itâs interesting how many of these folks consider themselves to be the early Crypto adopters, when in fact, theyâre nothing like those early Bitcoin idealists participating and mining for cents. I derive a strange pleasure from reading Nakamotoâs emails from the fall of 2008, because they show that the true early adopters were HUGE dreamers.
