Plankton's value rose too quickly and there was no clear vision on our direction.

Right now we're seeing a huge correction where a number of early buyers are selling out (Plankton is still up 400% from the initial sale so I wouldn't say it is dead) and we have decided to focus exclusively on the food industry (OP updated).

Very few offerings these days provided early buyers with 2000%+ on their investment within days like Plankton did.

Focusing on the food industry isn't a bad idea, and it's always a good idea to give a coin a purpose. My only hesitation might be the name of the coin... I mean, for alt giveaways and normal crypto stuff, associating Plankton + food is fine. Just normally, most people don't typically associate Plankton and think of food, outside of perhaps Krabby Patties. It's sort of like plankton = algae = tiny bugs != food for humans.

FoodCoin, minus the plankton bit, might have worked a bit better if going serious with the coin.

Agreed. I think the coin is losing focus by going towards the food industry. Plankton doesn't make people think of food. It makes people think of whales (or possibly Spongebob). A coin focused on the food industry is a great idea but I agree that FoodCoin would be a much better name if going that direction.

I guess the target would be traders who like to think of themselves as whales and need food for late night trading etc. I don't think the name is too much of an issue but it can be changed if that is what people want. I just think the cute mascot could be commercialized (happy meals, tv shows etc) and Plankton is a reference to bitcoin trading (as an origin story). Basically it is the currency for whales.

What direction would you suggest?
