Whether people like it or not the name change is the trigger for this... Whatever the tech, its all wrapped up in the brand, tech and community.. If google suddenly changed their name to wobble then it would cause some consternation, we are seeing the same...
If the new name does not work out, like other coins Dark will die.. I dont think that will happen, I subscribe to the more positive view, but the risks did just get greater and for some people those risks may not be ones they can tolerate.....
I dont think this is all down to traders....
Lets see what happens..
You can't compare google with Dash because google its a bilion dollar market and it was rezonized....
We speak about darkcoin,where no more than 3000 people trade this coin from a niche market,People who are in is mostly in big majority libertarian,anarchist, geek or teenager... We doesn't have big VC supporting us right now,we working to do that....
People mind sometime...
