The Path to $80

$16 Was Just the Beginning

When we first set the goal of reaching $16 by February 2026, it was about credibility. We said: if we raise the better part of a billion dollars, build the mine, pay commissions, and promote the currency, then TXC deserves a $1B market cap. With 62.5M coins projected by then, that translated neatly to $16 per coin.

But here’s the thing: $16 is a silly number. If we raise close to a billion, why would we only be worth a billion? In business, valuations are almost always a multiple of revenue or profit. And by every measure, our project is profitable, scaling, and delivering at a pace few can match. The real conversation isn’t about $16. It’s about $80.

Why Multiples Matter

A company doing $1B in sales is rarely valued at $1B flat. Investors apply a multiple based on growth, margins, and future potential. Tech companies often trade at 5x, 10x, even 20x.

Amazon: In 2001, Amazon did about $3B in revenue but had a $12B market cap — a 4x multiple during the dot-com bust.
Tesla: In 2020, Tesla’s $31B revenue supported a $700B market cap — more than 20x.
Solana: Raised $25M in early funding. By 2021, its market cap hit $75B — a 3,000x multiple.
Cardano: Raised $62M; later topped a $90B market cap — 1,400x.
Ethereum: Raised $18M in 2014; by 2021, ETH’s market cap was over $500B — 27,000x.

The lesson is simple: once a project is profitable and growing, the market doesn’t stop at a 1:1 ratio. It assigns multiples. That’s why $80 per TXC isn’t hype — it’s consistent with how strong projects get valued.

The Upward Spiral

One of our biggest strengths is that TXC has been liquid since day one. There were no lock-ups, no forced holding, no artificial scarcity. Miners could sell whenever they wanted. That means the risk of a sudden “big dump” is behind us.

Now, every sale creates a new cycle. The early adopter who got in at $0.028 and sells at $2.80 just booked a 100x. But the new buyer at $2.80 isn’t hoping for $5 — they’re dreaming of $280. And the one who enters at $280 is looking to $28,000. As old hands exit and new supporters step in, the upward spiral continues — fueling long-term strength and growth.

Why Capital Matters in a Money-First Project

Currencies succeed when they’re liquid, trusted, and backed by a passionate community of supporters. That requires massive resources. We’re not just launching a token on borrowed hype — we’re literally asking the crowd to do three things: grow the mine, earn commissions, and promote the currency.

That’s epic. And it puts us in rare company.

EOS ($4B raise): At the time, the largest ICO ever, and it vaulted EOS into the top 10.
Telegram / TON ($1.7B raise): Even with regulatory hurdles, the raise itself was industry-shaking.
Ethereum ($18M raise): Small compared to today, but enough to seed the world’s #2 blockchain.
Binance ($15M raise): A tiny start, but capital deployed with ruthless efficiency built the world’s largest exchange.

Now compare:

We’re on pace to accumulate the better part of $1B, crowd-funded rather than VC-controlled.
That capital is transparently reinvested into infrastructure, liquidity, marketing, and community.
And unlike many ICOs, we’re already delivering results in real-time.

And best of all, this isn't an ICO or a traditional raise; we're building a community and crowdsourcing the budget required to establish a true complementary currency.

Why $80 Makes More Sense Than $16

With 62.5M TXC in circulation by February of 2026, $80 equals a $5B market cap. That’s solidly in the top 30 coins — right where a project with:

A clear mission and proven leadership
Hundreds of millions in infrastructure, liquidity, and marketing
A 150,000+ Miner-strong community
Proof-of-Work roots and unmatched Texas-based energy advantages

…belongs. $16 is the proof of concept. $80 is the recognition that we’ve arrived.

The Rocketship Mentality

This ties back to the “Last Seat on the Rocketship” mindset. If we accomplish our objectives, the next logical stop is the top 30. And $80 per TXC is the ticket that gets us there.

$16 proves we’re real.
$80 proves we belong at the top.

That’s the path.
