And then there was a sudden spike to btc. Just when you think it was going nowhere

This is from the drop in tether.

Tether can create a real messā¦for the naked shortsš If this goes on we could see a lot of upward spikes. Say SQUEEZEš
I flagged it because I thought it was not very tactful. My apologies if I offended you.

I get the feeling if/when the tide goes out, there will be blood on the streets and the people responsible may end up in jail.

You know I can, so why not just get to the point.
Because 99% of all crypto is junk.
Joke coins such as Doge, and blatant forks such as BTC Gold, BTC Diamond and Aurora are part of that party, and even fare better than MAID. Even Moon Coin and Pot Coin were members not that long ago.
MAID will have to claw its way higher if it wants to stand out.

Wellā¦ we are only $0.03 away from my $0.15 premonition.
On the bright side, buying opertunity a $0.02 - $0.08 is on its way.
With development at full steam ahead, once Network is released - people are going to be kicking themselves for not buying at $0.02 - $0.08
Bring it oooon.

What do you base the 0.02-0.08 assumption on? Gut feeling? 
All evidence points to the contrary.
Now weāll work on vocabulary.
- Obscure: not discovered or known about.
- Dead: lifeless, inert
Clearly, neither of the above apply to MAID or MaidSafe for that matter.
Iād address your string of non sequiturs, like BTCG, but I suspect Iād be largely wasting my time.
In general, I prefer not to feed the troll, but when people throw mud for no reason, it really rubs me the wrong way. You can disagree with MaidSafeās approach, but propagating exaggerated FUD is unacceptable.

Partly the current uncertaintyā¦ and that is normal I guess for crypto.
Also look at the all time chart, I know past performance is no guarantee of future performanceā¦ but the chart looks symmetrical.
The left hand side shows $0.02 to $0.08 before it started to rocket hanging on to bitcoins coat tails.
The bitcoin run up to $20,000 helped the maidsafe price.
Post bustā¦ with copy cat blockchain projects, and the general unsustainability of blockchain technology, I feel itās all going to unravel. People are trading deckchairs on the Titanic.
Just feels like weāll see a collapse in blockchain prices, buying opertunity in SAFEnetwork tokensā¦ then on SAFEnetwork launch a boom in safecoin/maidsafe price for an actual green and sustainable crypto currency.
Blockchain prices will go down furtherā¦ maidsafe token lives on the blockchain, itās going to follow the trend.
SAFECoin, on Network launchā¦ Oh babyā¦ We will be crypto No1
Edit: yes. Gut feeling
Edit2: Iāve not sold a single maidsafe token on the way down. Could be a shakeout. Never sell, until launch. Ever.

It would be horrible for Maidsafe to go back down to 2014 levels. I donāt understand those on this forum who are cheerleaders for that event.

Fair enough. In @veli_e_velievās defense though, he probably meant that MAIDās current position makes it look like all those nasty, nasty things to the outsiders who are not that well informed about the progress and all those tiny little bits of this project. Not that the project per se is dead; only that it may look as such.
Price wiseā¦ it might be 2014 ā¦ most of that is bitcoins work.
Progress wise, they have come a long wayā¦ and thatās what is going to cause massive financial gain on launch.
Iāve always disagreed with that premise. Bitcoin does have an effect on price but confidence and excitement about a project is the primary driver of price. Bitcoin was around $350 to $400 in 2014. The Bitcoin/Maidsafe ratio between 2014 and now blows that premise out of the water.

Iām not sure why people who believe in the project would not want it to go to $0.02 a coin. I would like to pick up another 50-100K+ on the cheap. None of this really matters until at least Beta comes out, maybe not even until the final product release. What others outside of the project think does not really matter. Once the product is in its final stages and completion is all but guaranteed, the coin price will reflect that. MAID is still a relatively obscure coin in a āwhat have you done for me latelyā market. Thereās no reason to think that it couldnāt bounce back once a product is out there, even if it dips below the $0.05 mark.

Iāve been trying to leverage SOLID in conversations rather than push SAFE. Itās a backdoor strategy, but with the Inrupt news, there is tons of reference material, new articles, etc. Plus, TBL gives instant authority on the subject. We may be overestimating the ability of even many in the cryptospace to understand the benefits and the vision of a decentralized internet. People are starting to get blockchain with the problems of centralized monetary policy, but I donāt see that the public really has an understanding of where to even begin fixing social media data mining, corporate espionage, etc. Moreover, SOLID offers an idealist angle in a year in which centralized solutions are failing spectacularlyā¦rather than an awesome network (with an integrated crypto) in a year in which crypto is not so hot. It overcomes some of the incentive conflicts. Enough time and familiarization with SOLIDā¦and people will come across the SAFE Network soon enough. SOLID sets a lower bar for entry for a trip of 1,000 milesā¦

I think thatās why the marketing has to be about security/privacy/ease of use. If itās easy and it solves problems then youāre in. People get Dropbox, SAFE is obviously much more than that but thatās simply just one avenue. Another is music 
Some good points though and we definitely shouldnāt get lazy.

Poloniex has suspended BTC deposits and withdrawals.
I am probably one of those who bought a crap load when it was at 0.08. And saw the price gradually climb over time. I know it will bounce back. Right now i am getting kicked by the many who were introduced to the project. You do ont want to be in my shoes right now i guarantee. I follow the updates and details and know it will come good. But just not sure when. Its a long stretch home hehehe. And i wait for the day we see the upward projected prices. But i doubt weāll hit 0.15. We can bet a beer on this
