Just a note to those self-rioteous people who think that investors are a "problem" : Get over yourself.
You may live in some fantasy world where money doesn't matter or you may be independently wealthy. Most people don't and aren't. They are looking out for their own interests because they have to.
Cryptocurrencies whether they are DGB or BTC itself will only grow by getting more people on board. They will not grow by people holding onto their coins indefinitely and waiting for something magical to happen.
DGB is meant to be a currency not an investment asset. A currency only grows when people use it.
Right now the only real place to use DGB is on exchanges and that is a big problem but if those people who are currently buying or selling DGB weren't doing what they are doing DGB would already be dead.
The way to grow DGB is to get new people on board and that will only happen with new features and more places to use it. Right now DGB doesn't have anything sufficiently attractive versus more traditional payment methods for the average person on the street. It may seem to for those of us in the crypto-community but this is a small niche.
I speak from personal experience of trying to get friends on board with cryptocurrencies.
Most of them, even those who are technically minded, don't care.
Until we can find a way to make them care and take notice, cryptocurrencies like DGB (and even BTC itself to a degree) will remain the domain of people who simply use them as a means to make money via speculation.
I would imagine that people that have bought into digiByte in the 100 sats aren’t quite ready to sell just yet.
I know what you mean about talking to some people about ‘digital crypto’, I think to many of my friends it sounds like this.
“I’ve made up my own coin, it’s called Jumbley coin. There are 30 billion of them and I own them all. All I have to do is stir them in their tanks to keep them circulated.
I sold one to myself for a dollar; I paid for it with the dollar I owed myself so they are worth $30 Billion right?
Tomorrow, I’m going to sell all of them to myself after abolishing fees so this could be the chance you’ve been looking for. It works like this; you can buy anything, anything legal that is, with Jumbley all you have to do is decide what you want to buy then simply give me the value of the article you want in Jumbley plus my commission in DGB for attempting your task which is currently a very reasonable 10% . I provide a 100% satisfied customer guarantee or you will receive 100% of your payment back if I am unable or unwilling to fulfil your order. Unfortunately commission cannot be returned unless you have taken commission protection insurance, a snip at 10% of purchase value in DGB and this must be paid before making the purchase. You agree to keep your Jumbley in a Jumbley wallet that only I have a backdoor to and you agree to abide by conditions whenever I decide to enforce any including confiscation of your funds should I feel like that is the correct action to take.

Two fat girls protection is highly recommended.”
That’s an impression of what I think some of them hear.
