I don't understand why this coin hasn't taken off yet.
It will take off. Right now, about 2/3 of the hashes moved to DOGE. But hashes are still above 30 MH/s.
The POS quality of EBT means that the overhead to keep the coin alive will be very low. In other words, it doesn't need huge hashes and it doesn't need to waste electricity to survive in the long run. That's why it is a good prospect to mine now.
In the grand scheme of things, EBT is an early POS mover, in league with PPC, Next, CASH, PTS, and GRAin coin. It will probably take several times longer than these other coins (except maybe GRA) to gain real value. This means you can mine a bunch at relatively low cost, then just keep a wallet running as you collect interest. At some point in the future EBT should trade at a good value.
However, if you are having doubts, I'll buy a few hundred thousand from you at the current OpenEx exchange rate.
