I suppose that's possible. But looking at Bter, a LOT of coins have been going down over the last few days. Don't think it's necessarily specific to Qora. From my experience with marketing things on the net, summer typically slows way down. Could be having an effect on some of the markets as well.
Everyone starts out as a newbie. Besides, the ones that have an agenda are pretty easy to spot. Should be clear from my first couple posts in this thread I'm a real newb when it comes to this crypo stuff. I have a total of about $3 invested in some coins, just playing around to get my feet wet and already "lost" (not really since I haven't sold at a loss as of yet) something like 12% as I didn't anticipate the prices going down.. lol..
