@Audity I honestly think you’re on to something.
I’m picturing that jetson maid dusting off a bunch of computers while there’s a doge wearing red Tesla shorts resting at Mr. Jetsons feet except Elon Musks face is superimposed on Mr. Jetsons face. The Safe Network logo has to be on the computer screens and maybe the Jestson maid has the Maidsafe logo on it?
Someone would put a couple of Btc in Maid right now, with the intention of multiplying them by two or three in a short space of time?
Thinking high, why people don’t invest more Btc in Maid … but also lower its price …
Right. I did not understand your message… Excuse me gentlemen.
I don’t move in my mother tongue …
What I wanted to say was that with a test network so close, I do not understand how someone who has a couple of loose Bitcoin, does not dare to exchange them for Maid, now that it may be the closest moment to see a possible revaluation of price … and thus be able to multiply by two or three your investment …
It’s just market cycles. We’ve been bouncing between about between 750 and 1500 sats for the last year or more. Granted it’s a bit more volatile at the moment, which is partly due to Bitcoin spasms and probably some test net speculation too.
TBH, I doubt many outside of this community bubble are following the project or waiting for the test net though. They probably don’t even know or care about it. From the outside, this project has long failed to deliver anything useful. They don’t see the good work the devs are doing or the steady progress towards a test net, nor will they grok what the test net means. They’re just following the money and their noses.
I’m not saying we’re right and the speculators are wrong, btw. Until that test net arrives, I think we all retain an element of scepticism. I can’t recommend it to friends or family until I’m convinced it will get over the line and I’m not at that point yet. I’m hopeful, the right noises are being made, code is being committed, etc… but we’re not quite there yet. Which, of course, is another thing those outside of the project have heard again and again.
The devs are working hard and they deserve our trust. There is a long funding runway now and lots of community support. I’m sure this beast will get muscled over the line sooner or later!
Yes. It would have been optimal to have launched the testnet last week when the MAID market was primed for it (i.e. trading at ~$0.42-0.50). Had the testnet launched then and we saw a similar response as to what happened with the December soft launch, the price could have risen to $1.20-1.50 if not more. Now it’s hard to break through the bitcoin noise again, plus the limited exchange footprint does not help.
No use crying over spilt milk, however. Let’s hope the testnet launches this week and can reverse the tide.
I’m not totally convinced that’s it; Bitcoin dominance is a lot lower than in early January, and only rose a small amount in the last day or two with this leg up for BTC. That indicates that most coins are rising alongside bitcoin, whereas Maid is down in fiat by quite a way.
It could be just a bit of correction. It jumped up quite high to 46 cents at a point, maybe a bit too early.
Analyzing non-testnet related graph/crypto-sphere reasons has more weight than otherwise IMO.
If it’s not that people want more to invest in continually rising cryptos, then correction is my next bet.
When test-net comes, that’s a different story. But even then, nothing guaranteed, unless the reception is amazing, but even then maybe not much until a bit more time passes. Meanwhile it’ll continue to rise for the aforementioned graph/sphere reasons, and maybe because of continued test-net public interactions increasing motivations.
let’s face it the problem is accessibility, you can’t easily buy maid. we might get a test network but without the masses able to buy maid the price won’t move much, unless it’s at the will of whales. The network will help a lot, but IMO we currently need a way to easily purchase.
