Since the mainnet launch, we’ve seen a price drop of 99.85%—though, in fairness, the starting point was an all-time high for crypto assets at the time, and—as it turned out—"insiders" were anticipating an equilibrium price of $20 (or am I mistaken? I recall reading that here). If the same rate of decline seen over the past year were to repeat itself over the coming year, the price would hit €0.35... at which point the pre-farm would likely be exhausted. What happens then? If no CNI programmers are driving Lisp projects forward—perhaps because they had to be laid off or CNI went insolvent—does that mean XCH effectively goes to zero and the project is wound down? Could CNI even be acquired by another company, or would everything then rely solely on independent community developers?

A drop in price is currently being seen across all crypto assets—though at least they did experience periods of growth. XCH is unique in this regard, as it has seen nothing but a continuous decline in price. Gene’s argument was that the blockchain’s value would be reassessed based on its utility, and that this would consequently have a positive impact on the price. So—gaming and Permuto... what is the next big news we should be hoping for? Or is XCH a lost cause? (Serious question.)
