The active ppl and devs are already committed to other altcoin projects, and will tend to join the growing ones in a snowball effect. That is the way a very few winners will take all.
It is a 24hr/day job just keeping up with a few coins, and the ones that have multiplied in price many times over in the last few weeks are going to attract even more interest, leaving the rest to wither.
There might be one or two sudden recoveries, but the odds are long against that now.
I know many really competent ppl working at full capacity, who are having to decide where their efforts are best rewarded between several $10m+ market cap coins, so the lesser ones don't really have much chance. Its just life (or natural selection).
There is
always a coin doubling, this happens weekly or daily; then they go down, moved by cattle effect looking for the next exciting wave. So if the herd joins a coin that is already expensive, what are the chances of it multiplying again? At best, they will get 20% income on their investment, and most of the times, they will lose bigtime.
With CBX, you take a coin that is practically worth nothing, and bring it to a 10 million$ marketcap - potentially making 125X your investment; I think this makes more economical sense, but that's me.
I know with coins, just like the stock market, herd investor psychology prevails. If it hadn't been for that single whale selling CBX, the excitement would have flowed here instead; and, if you remember, for one day it did.
