So this couldn't have happened to SDC ?
No, and that's the beautify of the Shadow platform. It's decentralized; no group can run off with your funds and shut down the platform. With Monero relying on centralized dark net markets, this will keep happening to them over time.
I'd expect a big rise, but see only 4% decline to 200k

Just a matter of time. I'm sure there is more good news coming, we just need to be patient. I suspect anyone selling at these prices will soon wish they hadn't.
We just need to remember the Shadow Market, and many other features being developed have never been done by any other coin. The last couple updates should give us confidence...
I too hope we will hear something soon, but I know success and great advances take hard work and patience.
