$USUAL the fact that this keeps getting shorted is a contributing factor to the price decline alongside the general market downtrend. I've bought this at different prices since release and continue to do so because in the long term, this will be $1 minimum if not more.
People overlook and mock such projects for whatever reasons and at the same time these people would go and buy ridiculous meme coins that work on hype without and tangible value and simply cannot be trusted in terms of price movement.
