There are far more people that missed Lisk ICO than people who missed Ethereum ICO. Ethereum was widely advertised and Vitalik was famous.
imo most folks (me included) needed some time to understand what ETH is really doing and came then step by step into the market. Lisk had ALOT of attention and (like i said) that brings the question: who missed the boat and has to buy now on the exchanges?
there has been some marketing going on the last weeks and moths since the ICO so lets see how that plays out and brings in fresh coins.
also for Lisk its very important that ETH is performing well, so lets hope that ETH's DAO-bullrun goes on for a while because it helps every coin that markets itself as a competitor.
a shit ton.
People who were not paying attention due to other work related things.
People who were focused on rising ETH price who did not sell to get into lisk.
People who spent all their money on ETH at the top of the market.
People who don't give a fuck about bitcointalk as it was really the only place Lisk was promoted.
People who don't pay attention to twitter.
People who believed the FUD
People who just learned about Bitcoin today.
You act like there's only 4000 people playing pro crypto trader right now.
