I think this is really good for the coin, it takes the pressure off from the implementation schedule. For every buyer there is a seller, we need investors not speculators, and more importantly we need time. It is obvious that Darkcoin is a real project, the fact that the masternode payment system worked for a while and then broke is a symptom of reality. It feels good, you know the devs are working on something that's complex, once we get it right its going to be great.
On the other hand, I hold a lot of drk and I just cant bring myself to sell high to buy lower, it just doesn't feel right to me. It makes me feel like I am doing a disservice to the coin. I know is silly because I could easily crash the market to buy lower but it makes me feel like I would be hurting something I believe in. I think I am too idealistic to trade so I am in long-term.
I made about 200 DRK today in dribs and drabs, but I feel no shame in relieving idiots of their DRK, the higher the communal IQ of investors, the greater the eventual price and stability will be. No.1 and the rest of the smart money haven't gone anywhere, so I aint worried.
