If I'm not mistakin, DUSK is only conducting a private sale but yes, with the current market slump, I think it will have an effect as every investors are now becoming more cautious and in a "wait and see" attitude towards investing in crypto.
Last year some ICOs had $200 M contributions (hell, EOS got 4 BILLION dollars...), so I think that Dusk's goal isn't impossible to reach, we're talking about "only" $14M if I recall correctly
I think last year was the reason we are having this downfall. I mean why the hell a project raise 4 billion dollars. The only reason i can think of, they liked the idea of Escobar and will burn money on the fireplace for getting heat. Lots of projects raised an unnecessary amount of money and now it is causing the market dump.
Anyways, still i don't think 14m $ is not reachable for dusk network even in this conditions. And i believe they will reach it, just meant to say, last year was a fluke.
