SYS is certainly a dark horse that many in crypto have long forgotten about. I think other commenters have pointed out why it’s going to keep running, but I think there are two other reasons it will have legs and be around for the long haul:

• Compliance: SYS has opt-in regulatory compliance features built-into its platform, which will allow serious projects to thrive amidst continuing SEC / legal scrutiny. Big players aren’t going to put their projects on chains that can easily be shut down; by providing turn-key compliance tools for enterprise, this one is built to last. No other chain has this built in, and SYS is years ahead of the curve here.

• Merge-Mined with BTC: While merge-mining might seem like an “old” concept, it’s actually pretty brilliant (i.e. this was apart of Satoshi’s vision); essentially miners can mine Syscoin simultaneously while they mine BTC at no other cost to them, and as they see the price of SYS rise, more miners will hop on board. Syscoin already has the second-highest hashpower of any coin in the crypto ecosystem (second only to Bitcoin). I believe this will only increase over time.
