I concur.
If it’s going to 40 it’ll go to 20. But I can’t see that happening. I’d be buying a lot more too if it did! But I think that’s 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 that’s only beacuse I apply this investment wisdom: Only buy something that you’d be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years: Buffett.
I really hope so! 
It’s inevitable. I keep telling people to get in quick before some serious recognition. Wouldn’t at all be surprised to see $10 per coin this year.
I see the money chasers making 100x gains off obvious shitcoins and believing they’re the next Warren Buffett. They may win today, but stay with this project. We will win the future.
Well this year Maidsafe are going to push marketing which means they feel the network is not going to be too far behind. So this year is ramping up marketing and next year could be exciting. So the price is going to be pushed up because of this marketing and if the theory is right then the network will be proving what the marketing is saying. Unlike other projects David does not believe in hype marketing, so I’d say/hope the marketing is reflecting what the network is (becoming).
At the beginning of last year no one thought or was certain they would see it at 1$ 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.
We’ve 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 doesn’t look unrealistic.
I wouldn’t 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 Substratum’s announcenent that they are in “closed” 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. It’s hard to get any details about thier tech, probably beacuse there isn’t any.
They use blockchain, bad choice, and seem easily subject to censorship. It’s 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 MAID’S price soon.
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.
No it wasn’t there before. It looks like it’s a big Korean exchange. This is exciting! 
What is the name of the new market/exchange?
Upbit. Unless it was there before and I just didn’t notice it but pretty sure it’s new…
Of the top of my head I think it has some association to do with BitTrex.
Don’t really follow listings etc but I think I remember reading Upbit is tied into one of their big chat apps.
Anyone know any more?
Today someone started talking about diversifying. He told be i should not be emotionally attached to Maidsafe. Never thought i was. But even if i am whats wrong. Each to his own 
I’ve had the same thing said to me by many good and successful Crypto traders and investors. That I should never “believe” 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 don’t have the time to think beyond the monetary aspect. They’re too busy making 300% weekly profits on every coin they bother putting their money in. Should it take longer? I’m losing money ma! It’s all just a big fat cow to milk to them.
It’s interesting how many of these folks consider themselves to be the early Crypto adopters, when in fact, they’re nothing like those early Bitcoin idealists participating and mining for cents. I derive a strange pleasure from reading Nakamoto’s emails from the fall of 2008, because they show that the true early adopters were HUGE dreamers.
Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently – they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do. - Steve J
MaidSafe climbing back up the charts, amongst a sea of red. Feeling sorry for those new crypto investors who are getting burnt and rekt.
Call me cruel, but I do not.
It’s all baptism by fire.
Better to get burnt early on than hit a lucky streak / artificial ego boost only to lose huge amounts once their ignorance is exposed. MAID holds its own nicely, people really stick to it. I regret those few times I had given up mine to speculate; never again.
