I remember when Dash launched it had to stop and relaunch a few days later due to problems. Now it is one of the most successful coins ever and people that held made a killing. So I would not read to much into this price correction PIVX has at the moment.
I am buying more while the price is so low. As a practical matter, PIVX is the 1st mover with POS/zero knowledge proof protocol plus with its self funding mechanism in my opinion makes it one of the most viable competitors for the long run.
Yeah, I remember when Darkcoin (Dash) launched, there were a lot of problems (and commotion about "instamining").
And it did well.
Now PIVX is the first privacy-coin with both Zerocoin and PoS enabled and is ready to compete.
