ARK has been undervalued for quite some time now. I've watched it since it launched in late march. It didn't budge during the BTC/ETH surges/crashes. This coin has only one direction it can go: up.
I see this coin hitting at least $1 soon. If you're a longer term holder, I'd expect it to hit $10 by the end of the year, if not higher. The BTC/altcoin mania hasn't even started. I could see this being a $100 coin easily, especially since they are networking hardcore with other dev teams. Don't forget they recently hosted the BANCOR, Trezo, and Mysterium AMA's (among others) on their slack channel.

ARK is meant to be a push-button deployable blockchain that can be replicated and forked by startups and other companies that seek to utilize the ARK business model. In other ways, it is comparable to coins like LSK and SHIFT. These are coins that will utilize IPFS, a decentralized means of storing data.
>What is IPFS?
IPFS is a peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol to make the web faster, safer, and more secure. It has been lauded as the next iteration of the internet and a replacement for HTTPS. For more on this:

There are several coins that are currently implementing IPFS in some form or another, ARK is one of them.
>B-but how is ARK different?
ARK is developing 'Smartbridges' -CONT-

It is developed by the ARK team to allow intercommunication between the BTC, ETH, ARK, and LSK blockchains, among others.
>What does that mean?
One example of using Smartbridge is the transfer of payments through various blockchain networks. This allows users to send a transaction with a specific amount of ETH from ARK, directly to the holder of the ETH account, once the information is processed and verified. Other applications will eventually lead to the transfer of data for user profiles, service ratings, contracts, and other applications. The use cases really are endless.
Another use case could be a 3rd party coin exchange service may look for specific triggers and handle cross blockchain payments for their customers. For example, You have ARK but want to pay for a movie using Netflix Credits but you don’t have any Netflix Credits. You could go through multiple steps to transfer into these credits to watch a movie but because you are a member of Bob’s coinshift platform, you can send an ARK transaction to bob with the instructions to pay for the video you want to watch with Netflix Credits on your behalf. This would not require Bob to be there and would be handled by the Centralized and Decentralized system that Bob’s Coinshift provides instantly for the consumer.

You've peaked my ears but I gotta ask how low this boi may go til it hits that 1-10 dollar high? I hodl longterm but I want to know if ARK's facing a dip, it's admittedly at a small decline recently.
I've browsed biz for quite a while and this is literally the best time to buy in. This coin is on that fine line between getting barely shilled a few weeks ago to actually getting pumped hard very soon.
