Up on release of event, down soon after.
Only because the masses view the recent releases as failures. Because the masses are stupid as fuck.
Well those recent releases should have never happened in the main network. They were mistakes. Now they've started doing it the Right Way
TM and we will most probably never experience such failures again.
gimme a break, all cryptos are on a super fast track, and it's all a great experiment which will hopefully come to fruition. Do you think Evan thought the previous implementations wouldn't work? Of course not, he thought they were ready! But in the earlier days of the coin, people updated pretty quickly when he put stuff out (it wasn't our first hard fork, nor our second) so he didn't foresee that after ... how long did everyone have? 10 days? 2 weeks? and so many weren't updated, it was a surprise! Hindsight is 20/20. Turns out most people just didn't want to pay masternodes because of their short sighted greed (paying and making DarkSend work would increase the value of the coin for everyone, but shortsighted people just want as many coins as they can get even if they're not worth as much) Hope they sold their coins.
