Imagine if as a competitor you bought the competitions token in ICO and slowly kept selling it cheap and hired people to pose as ICO participants and to spam thread with negative comments and dumb technical FUD. Its a dick move but would be hard to defend against. So be calm please.
From an economical perspective that would be the dumbest tactic that anybody could ever employ. You'd need to buy a significant amount to have any impact on the price of a serious project (which CL is not). And that money would be far better spent on your own development.
Because the whole market crashed just after cl launched lol. It's not really their fault
And because crashes make people do one of two things: cash out into fiat or sell their small coins for bigger, more tested coins
CL crashed much stronger than the entire rest of the market. Because it's a scam and the "devs" are holding 80~90% of the supply.
