Leaving such a good coin and running for BTC looks so stupid. This coin was making better than BTC.
I (with a completely biased point of view) agree!
Unfortunately the herd mentality kicks in of 'Altcoins are going down, sell'... which of course becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
Individual coins no longer get judged on their merits or market trends as the entire market is viewed in the same way 'Altcoins are going down, sell'
Hopefully some people saw the dip as a good entry point though.
