dude, any of these coins related to the NXT group of family are dead as shit. i know many have good intentions and go "devving about" tons (no ico scams and all), but it appears all this tech and nobody cares (lol welcome to crypto). so for how nerded out ppl wanna get about ardor and other related projects, this never translates well financially at all for anyone lol. every. single. time. it's basically become a p&d shitcoin on bittrex (if it's even still there!). if this coin (and others from NXT) are off the main exch's, you guys are pretty much dead. sorry but it's the truth.
We can say the same about basically anything ranked 20+ on coinmarketcap. Or perhaps anything besides BTC, the way the market has been going lately. Last time I checked, ardor is on binance, bittrex and upbit.
And I agree, tech doesn't seem to matter that much in regard to price, at least not currently. Otherwise BTC wouldn't be king. As for financial gain, tech only matters (sometimes) in a bull market ... in a bear market for alts, pretty much nothing matters.
Still, someone asked about info on ardor a couple of posts back, so I provided a link to their new website with updated info. I'm not saying anyone should invest in this or not.
