Yes, we are now seeing a new Cryptsy Phenomenon with their voting system. All those coins prices rose in anticipation of getting listed and now look at their price. At most Cryptsy would have given us a 2-3 day short term boost in price. A consistent commitment to Development is the key to success here.
Very well put, I think people need to realise getting listed on Cryptsy is not the be all end all.
One area I think we need push is Social Media

https://twitter.com/DigiByteCoinAll I can say after almost 2 months of DGB - DigiByte has one most important part in this stage of coin - dedicated developers that have been supporting this coin from the day 1, and through all bumps and dumps of price. Community is not large, but biggest part of it are also dedicated members - I would rather have 100 decent and intelligent people than 10000 members that jump from coin to coin and will abandon it after the price falls few satoshies.
Big up devs and supporters - keep up the good work!
And my second point is exactly this, The development and support team are VERY active and I personally find this more re-assuring than throwing BTC at a voting system.
Think about it... Yes Digibyte could have sold some of the premine used this to vote (aka bribe) this coin to be listed, Let the demand/volume increase and therefore price and then cash out.
Did they?.. No. (Dont get me wrong there could be other reasons)
I understand the Crypto scene does quite often fall victim to scams and people trying to take what isn't theirs (Its happened to me numerous times) but I don't believe it needs to be surrounded by negativity other Crypto will never well and truly take off
