This is a marathon not a 100 yard dash!

I completely agree. This is a very young coin and volatility in hash rate and price is to be expected at this point and only some bumps in the road ultimately. There's that old saying that "Rome wasn't built in a day" which applies here too.

I would assert also that lulls in volume are also a time when potential buyers are making sure they have some loot available for the next round of buying and/or other financial demands. There are thousands of coins trying to carve out their niche and use-cases or otherwise justify their existence. The bulk of the volume is in coins with much larger market cap. I'm not concerned at all about this situation; multi-signature functionality would be useful in the long-run though.

I want investing to NOT be the emphasis of the site and the currency. I want fun and real usage to be the #1 priority.

We have to work together or motivation will die.

Yet the "strength in basking" motto -- referring to CROC's 12% POS -- is one of the main characteristics of this coin (along with the lightning-fast transaction times). To make an analogy with the investing headspace: a company that's paying that kind of dividend is usually in pretty rough straits; however, in the cryptospace you have quite a few coins paying less POS rate and you have others paying extremely high (and probably unsustainable rates that are quite likely to inflate the currency into oblivion Weimar style e.g.: https://www.amazon.com/When-Money-Dies-Devaluation-Hyperinflation/dp/1586489941/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1507605365&sr=8-1&keywords=when+money+dies ) as the demand for the coin might not prove to be sustainable with such a large supply. I think CROC is a good middle-ground; 12% is a good potential return for speculation or risk and does help set it apart.

The fun and real usage reminded me of UFO coin (I was reading about Marscoin within the last couple days and someone mentioned UFO as a joke). Again that is just another example of the many coins that are well on their way in that direction/niche, so I think the POS should be recognized as one of the main things CROC has (as well as the difficulty mining it--which I'm beginning to appreciate somewhat more now).
