Then I see members of the community throwing away BTC to buy a spot on an exchange... the amount of BTC wasted on this effort would have been able to clear the sell orders on all exchanges, CoinedUP and SwissCEX, up to 5000 at least and started creating some trading volume. Why isn't the community investing in their own coin?

I do not have the answers, but going in circles about how KDC shot itself in the leg with the fork is not the answer.

We have to focus on the now and work together to find solutions in spite of the fork or KDC is dead.
