Many people bought because they listened to all of that and now they are underwater. Maybe these people need to sell for various reasons. This is not typical lemming panic and this thread is full of disparaging remarks towards people that are merely selling their DRK. It's theirs to do what they want with it. That doesn't make them lemming or fools. People that sold their DRK awhile ago were smart.
I think this is more a case of people seeing btc and many other coins making huge gains while they sit watching DRK go down and down. They have had enough of the promises, next great release, lack of communication regarding what's going on with their investment, and the list goes on.
And to anyone that wants to attack me for stating the obvious.
I don't care.
Before anyone starts getting defensive and attacking this guy, I don't think there's much to disagree with here personally.
Although many of us are 10 or 20 times up even at this price, there are plenty who are not and he's right that prior to RC3 the thread was full of "it's been tested to death on testnet - will be rock sold, no problems" hype. That gives people some justification for being resentful if they bought in on the basis of that hype and then the opposite happens.
There are plenty of posters on this thread who bear some responsibility for that (probably me included). I'm not saying anyone needs to hang their head in shame, I'm just saying you can't blame people who read all that hype and bought for later getting stark raving mad that the price went down to 1 instead of up to 3.
Even though I'm a DRK fan and am happy with the long term prospects, I'm also a software developer and I knew that all that confidence wasn't justified. At the same time, it also makes me not so bothered about the issues that we're going through now. I said this before - they're two independent aspects of the coin that need to be considered separately (technical development and price). The price has taken a nosedive, but technical development is basically following the path that almost every pioneering software project has to tread - that of continious problem solving and design revisions.
