Quark has faced tough times lately, however i see many coins like digi, wdc, lots of the last wave of darlings crushed by new pump and dumps. I see no big deal here. QRK will recover long term if you get involved and do something. The issue is investors think they can buy currency and sit on it waiting for it to magically x100 whilst they sleep.

Every alt is pump and dump as some stage of it's cycle. Yes i think you bought in at the peak of it's first major pump, and i hope for your sake you will not sell at the bottom of a dump only to watch another pump or organic rise later. I have done this many times it is a horrible feeling.... just as bad as buying at the top and watching it sink. Worse even watching it go up after selling out at the bottom. You hear the community cheering as the price rises only to sit there dreaming it will crash back down so you can buy in again lower.

I don't see DI did anything wrong, in fact i remember him announcing his intentions on this board before the spike happened. If he had wanted to he could have bought a TON more qrk before telling the board he was going to do.

You can't sell now so hold tight, get involved with QRK bring others in and help grow the community. QRK's main issue is there was no premine or instamine fund for the dev team so they have little incentive to push things forward as fast as other coins. VIC has done amazing things in the back ground for qrk.

I'm accumulating more qrks on dips weekly. It has a dedicated core. I don't like how they are against any changes but still i think the core does think bigger than most communities do.

Bill believed qrk solved some problems btc and ltc had. Bill talked about qrk being a good deal at 200 sats, if you bought in at 30k sats then that was a bad move. Those who bought in before 5k and sold out for double or 3x 4x 5x 6x their investment did well. Some were not satisfied even with that.... i held a ton way too late. 200BTC less in my pocket than i could have had. Everyday people lose and gain more than that though it is part of the game right now.

Crypto is new, chances to make huge money, chances to lose huge money. I have been cautious when i should have been greedy, and greedy when i should have been cautious. It's like sometimes whatever you do it's the wrong move. Then after a while, you can't explain it you just get the hang of it , you get a 6th sense with this trading and you seem to be able to counter the greed and fear and make much  better trades. You can spot fud, hype and bullshit.

Will QRK go back to 30k sats? nobody knows. I don't think it will without some changes. However i wouldn't consider selling at this point. If i was holding a ton of qrk i certainly would not start this kind of thread. I would perhaps get involved with the qrk community and see what can be done about getting your investment back in better shape.
