As I know EDC management have been changed and they added a leasing program and started to develop the project. Those people that participate in leasing program see that the price of the tokens grow.
If you understand the mechanism of this program, you understand that growth will inevitably be followed by a fall. Much better for the price if the coin is used as a means of payment.
I agree that it must be practical use for tokens. But EDC is developing the wallet and creating a marketplace. If everything will be realized it would be good.
