Dan is doing EOS the opposite of BTS - release a test chain to beat up for a year then go live. BTS released the live chain right away and spent two years forking/upgrading it, which was rough and severely depressed the price for a long time.
My bet is that current prices are as low as they will very be. Once the test environment and test chain are released I expect to see $5 very quickly.
Thank you for explain this. This explains why Dan chose to release the tokens for sale through some exchanges first and has made reference to the fact that it is a lot easier to work on a platform and upgrade/tweak it before you have to actually service paying customers at the same time. He used a great analogy for this about it being easier to work on a car's engine when you don't have to drive it down the road at the same time. Thanks for adding this piece...it all makes sense to me now. Hahaha! (Well, in a very simplistic way.)
