It's not just a matter of price, most altcoins had a 90%+ drop in the last bear market. It's a matter of behavior. Why leaving the project in block? Cause the money printing machine broke? Come on, there wasn't any need of professional devs doing the job 24/24h and living off masternode rewards. Also about the premine being "considered to be very small"... maybe in regards to the final supply, but for sure NOT in the initial phase of the project, when it was dumped, too.

I call dishonest openly the behaviour of the 2 hired marketing dudes, and I call "shady" the behavior of the lead dev Levi. A true captain sink with his boat, if you really believe that he leaving and the entire project crashing soon afterwards was a mere coincidence I don't have much to say. There's still people believing the Earth is flat, so you're free to do as you please.
I sold my stack immediately after the disaster of the marketing dude at a huge loss, and never looked back. Just seeing people still pretending that nothing happened is still a bit painful to me.
