I dont see it completely that way. Bitcoin went from a high in early/mid December of over 18K down to 6K low by early/mid February. Sure it bounced a little before continuing it's fall. I am sorry, but any commitments and plans made in the fall of 2017 were most definately affected by late January into February with a massive and violent drop like that. It was breathtaking. People were still a little drunk on Decembers move and had high hopes for a big rebound. Not long after that we had LAM complications because of a lawsuit unrelated to ADTM against a MM, and process changed. That hurt plans for sure. We also had regulators really start hammering down on new and existing ICO's. Legal clamped down late spring on PlutusX and ADTM. No doubt the same legal is retained.
I am not so sure there ever really was a golden opportunity given the real climate of things and where the progress was at that point. A better pump sure, but that is not what the goal was. I truly feel that legitimate regulatory and financial hurdles/roadblocks were encountered this year. We saw the Perfect Circle turning to Decentrafin by October. Obviously it was a hell of a summer behind the scenes when the June ICO did not happen
Blunders and missteps were certainly made along the way, and it is clear John Strong sucks at public relations and the douche hired for IR is at a minimum both very unprofessional and useless. We should not be at .0001 and that is soley on John's back. We should be higher. We never had progress mature enough for multiple pennies though at any time without a gigantic pump.
It would have been nice to have had honest dialog and good faith throughout the year from John. That would have held this a higher pps than where we are now.
If this had been hatched fall of 2016 and executed in 2017 I think it would have been much smoother sailing for the PlutusX ICO. Without a doubt 2018 has been horrible throughout the entire sector, and especially for new ICO's. 2019 looks to be more friendly, and we have PlutusX in a much more mature position than a year ago. Much has been learned, developed, acheived and implemented by PlutusX. They are stronger. I'm betting 2019 will be more friendly as a result. I hope they can carry Decetrafin across the finish line and bring some new value here. GLTA.
