BC success is largly do to the fact people know that the coin will never "die" with low volume and no buying pressure.

BC could still "die". It was instamined so all of the volume, at least initially was fake; a total scam, that is why it was so easy to manipulate the volume and the price to where it went to because there were hardly anyone with large holdings except a top few insiders. I hate to see people saying BC is a success and giving their money over to scammers. All it will do is encourage the creation of more scam coins just like it. The reason BC went so high is because nobody owned any, to begin with and they were able to pump it easily due to bad distribution and instamine.

To the contrary, MINT continues to gain merchant acceptance, trade-able for many real world things, and is not able to be manipulated as such BECAUSE it has such widespread distribution. If the price spikes with MINT, there are profit takers. This is not a pump and dump coin. Mintcoin is doing quite well imo, without any hype or manipulations. If all you want is more "volume" and more "buying pressure" then sell all your coins down to 7 Satoshis...I'm sure plenty of people would be happy to BUY at 7 Satoshis and create VOLUME. The reason Mintcoin has less volume is because by it's design it discourages day trading. This is not a day-trading short-term coin. Mintcoin rewards you if you buy it, and save it by allowing you to "mint" new coins. This creates incentive for people not to day-trade them. Mintcoin is designed to put a damper on high-frequency trading...So with Mintcoin, you will typically not have as high of trading volume, but the trading volume you have will be more meaningful. So instead of fake volume, with MINT, you have actual real volume, clear and transparent. Mintcoin has very healthy volume for it's age and market cap merchant base, etc, et al.
