Alright Veeky Forums let me shill you on this shit for a minute, putting the tech aside (you can read the whitepaper and watch interviews for that)
BUT, look at the trading trends this coin has been through during it's lifespan. It's had 3 major run-ups over the course of 4 months.
Each run-up has, at least, doubled the previous one, followed by a 1-1.5 month down-trend. It then may or may not trade sideways for 1-2 weeks before taking off again. This is clearly manipulation..
BUT, if you can read the bot/whale's patterns - you can ride his wave.
Now, putting tech(sorta) and TA aside:
This coin allows you to hold your bags in your wallet and by voting for a delegate that has profit-share, you can basically pseudo-stake your coins completely offline (meaning you dont need your wallet open or your computer running) and earn rewards in this manner.
Right now, only 41% of coins are held in voting, which means 100% of the newly minted coins are only going to 41% of the ecosystem.
This means you are getting insane ROI just through being early to ARK and staking while the % of voters is this low.
Once a larger percentage of people in crypto realize this, demand for Ark will fucking skyrocket until we reach an equilibrium point.
Let me finish with this if you're the "gambling" type of trader:
The odds of Ark going significantly lower than it is at THIS point are much, much lower than the odds of it rising to/beyond its previous ATH of $1.20. This is based purely off it's trading trends since inception.
Don't fuck this up Veeky Forums, a lot of you get shilled into coins while its already up 5000%, what the fuck do you expect to happen? Go up another 5000%?
...
Buy while everyone's FUDing and it's had time to breath since it's last pump... If you could even call Arks bull-run a "pump".
The run may happen tomorrow, or two weeks from now, but it will happen. And it will be in perfect accordance with Ark's push-button deployable blockchain release.
