MAID is currently in an ascending parallel channel and breaking through some long time resistances and in general testing previous resistance as support. At this moment there aren’t many exchanges listing MAID because of the lengthy development process but the fundamentals have never looked better for this 2014 coin that was one of (if not) the first ICO/crowdsales. Since there aren’t many exchanges listing MAID, the order books are thin and large purchases and sells can make the price volatile. It seems like the rising tide of bitcoin, bitcoin dominance, and small cap algo buying is partially to thank for this rise though there have been some interesting high volume spikes that on the buy side were likely the catalyst for that even.
With news of AT2 (Asynchronous Trustworthy Transfers), CRDT data types, and potentially fully anonymous and offline DBC (Digital Bearer Certificates) there has been some serious excitement that has the potential to be highly disruptive even to the blockchain space in general. The fundamentals are all there and if a new decentralized autonomous internet with free, fast, and anonymous transactions lives up to expectations this will be hugely profitable altcoin to have in anyone’s portfolio.
