The only reason I purchased Gulden was because I thought Nocks was a good service and you could buy at bitcoin merchants using Gulden with Nocks. When Nocks shutdown it was the end for Gulden. I also supported EFL but it never had people like Roel to make a difference.
IMHO the death nail was the removal from litebit and bitcoinmeester. From what I have read on this thread, blockhut only sells the premine and this is a sad state of affairs for potential investors. No one will touch this coin if they can't buy and sell easily.
agreed, easy buying and selling is key. But isnt this a bit of a chicken & egg story? Because platforms delist because of low volume. So where there were easy buy and sell options. People weren't using it. Therefor they stopped with listing them. Because no volume means no money only costs for an exchange or broker.
So back then, nobody was actively trading, buying and selling.
Delistings.
Now nobody is actively trading, buying and selling because there are no (not enough simple to use) listings. Doesn't make total sense. I think the people stopped actively buying and selling because any upward movement was shot down by massive dumps. So people left. The listings left.
Will a proper listing now instantly mean all people start jumping on board again? I am not convinced about that.
Other coins are in a healthy situation for a bear market. I expressed my concerns when Gulden started and I was proven right. Rijk chased away the people that could help Gulden grow. I was told to stop helping the market and left it, instead of uniting the community, Rijk divided the community because only dev is a requirement. Gulden is dead and no coming back unless dratic change in attitude and non threatening antics against the community is realized.
