looks like your clueless about how it works in cryptocurrencies. There are no 'investors' just pump and dump squads
sadly this is true!
I agree, BUT, we have never seen real innovation yet. Name something other than cloakcoin, or syscoin that have done something innovative to cryptocoins? None, small improvements, but nothing big. ETH would be another one but they have an idea, and it's big, but we know not where it's going.
As far as i see it, two teams are doing some major stuff to change this from pump and dump coins, to major innovation that will attract outside investors. Those that hold long could be rewarded 10 to 100x the prices of last pump. You must understand, when you break free of this tiny market and have real world usefulness, the prices will look even bigger than Bitcoin did, as people will use the coins and demand them cause they have tangible real world use.
