I am a new DRK investor I bought yesterday right at the top (0.024). After it crash overnight and I was tempted to sell but did not. However I was thinking and it feel like every big players bought coins knowing the Bitfinex news and then dump on all the little guys when the news came out. If being on a huge exchange like that doesn't make the price rise what will

To be honest I don't care about the haters/trollers of DRK anymore. The only reliable option for price rising is the acceptance of people/merchant. Right now DRK has grown too well, to a little pump, so be careful if you want to invest all your money in it and try to make some money short-terms.
But with the bitfinex's story, DRK has shown that it is becoming the third power in crypto world. IMHO it has more to offer even than BTC/LTC. Bitfinex accepts DRK despite of DRK still has 3 major hard forks ahead while LTC/BTC people too scared to change their protocol. Don't be surprised if you will soon see more and more exchanges add ALTcoinXXX/DRK marketplace.
Right now even the price DRK/BTC won't even concern me anymore. In facts, I'm enjoying cheap DRK, converting all of my BTC holding to DRK because soon when I'm in need of fiat I don't even need to exchange DRK -> BTC -> fiat anymore. For everyone who misses the chance to be early adaptors of BTC/LTC, DRK is now obviously the only choice.
Beware. for something growing so fast, it always attracts more haters.
Congrats Evan and the team again. You rocks and we're making the history.
