Cloak has plenty going for it, so I'm not sure why anyone would bash it.  As for the rise, as new investors come to the coin they expect it to rise more. Anyone who expects it to go lower or flatline is an idiot. And as for a slow and steady growth - it's crypto, not a blue chip company!?  If you're a solid and promising coin, with new / superior technology, and a good team, you will go to the moon (at the very least to a 100 million market cap).

As for the team - forget about price speculation (good or bad), the market will decide where it goes. Keep up the solid work (!) and updating the community on the plans/roadmap and progress; the coin price will follow.
