I think it was more of a letdown effect to new investors and users because they expected an official GUI wallet already and there was not.... I'm pretty sure once it arrives, all these people who sold out at any point in the past will really regret it, but that's just my .02 xmr
I see it's back on the upswing atm - 0.01558023 BTC
Agree. I've seen that sentiment as well, a lot of newcomers not trusting the devs as well, thinking XMR is simply a common P&D coin. So in the end, there shall be FOMO.
