The reality is, this coin has no utility, no unique features or tech and has been terribly managed throughout. Are there even any devs behind it anymore? Certainly not a Romano who will work their balls off to keep pushing their coin like VIA, nothing like the experience of the team behind FCT or the professionalism of the STRATIS team, so what future can it possibly have in competition with these? These are coins that serve a purpose, either through specific utility or through ground breaking innovation. This is where the value of cryptocurrency lies. So why hold START? The only reason can be in blind hope of a pump. You're putting your investment in the hands of pump and dump groups and hoping one of them will eventually pick this one up.
If you hold START there is a chance you will get that pump, but it is not investing, it is pure gambling and the odds are pretty shitty - let's face it. I would advise anybody holding to seriously start looking at some of the interesting small caps out there (and there are plenty) and start rebuilding. And yes, I am aware I will be called a FUD'er but this is just the truth, I have no interest in buying this coin - it's become the true definition of 'shitcoin'. Other projects have started 'parking their tanks' all over the STARTcoin yard, see recent article on NXT as a crowdfunding platform:

Take a look at RADS, SYS, STRAT, VIA, XEL, MSP, XRB, EDG.... There are lots of good projects out there, why park funds in this shit forever at a loss?
