Most depends on founders. Look at LEO community how much it grew. Some H-E community founders just left.

CCC is under new management with partial control (@cccf). It is a great progress regarding there is no upgrade for 2 years.

CCC may never reach 1HIVE, but buying more CCC to lowering average cost of investment can help. However, for that you have to trust the coin and community.

As always, investment is always a risky thing on new, hyped and unknown product such as CCC, NEOXIAN, PAL or LEO.
