all the talk about DIONS imminent release pumped the price up needlessly, and then when nothing was released the price started to drop and then came the market bloodbath which accelerated things.
you just relax and wait. bought this coin around 2015 @ 2k sats when btc was around 200-300 dollars. sold 20k coins at around 10k sats when btc was still 200-300 dollars
fast forward now. it was the worst decision i made.
Marketing is not a strong suite for many developers. Take the bad with the good. A working product to build on is the more important thing for the long run.
EDIT: There is a fine line between too much info (hype) and not enough. Not sure how you ever win that battle! If you trust, then just have patience. The ride is not going to be determined by IOC over the next couple of months as much as the drama with BTC. That is what I was asking for, whether or not IOC devs will release DIONs when it is ready, regardless of what is going on with BTC.
