One part of the issue is there is too many hands in the crypto pie for lack of a better way to put it. People who got in early on Bitcoin and Litecoin are doing ok at the moment. With constant talks about the crypto market falling some people (especially one's that are just starting to understand crypto) are hesitant to dive in. I think (and I am speculating some) that their logic is why back any crypto regardless of its speed time, etc if their is a possibility they lose their behinds in the process.
