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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
