James, Masari has been one of the most underrated projects all year. It actually mooned to almost 2 dollars because fomo kicked in due to Masari being listed on Coinmarketcap.com so a drop in price was the inevitable. Masari is trading right now at 6-6.5k sats which is still almost 500 percent up since January and seems to have found a heavy support at this price. As far as being just another Monero copy one of Masari's goals is to contribute back upstream which it already has and with the new POW CN-fast Masari is already taking steps in distinguishing itself from the competion. If you go back and spend some time  reading this announcement thread I think you might see the potential that Masari has to become a top tier Crypto currency with a head developer that is more than capable to take us there. Your right too that competition is more tough than ever now but make no mistake Masari is still in the race. Hope to see you around Taco B.
