My guess is cuz UK is junior partner, it will come along, politely, in a couple of years after USA -- as usual...

1.) Overvalued in the first place.

2.) All alts are falling at the moment not only VTC.

3.) Trolls are spreading FUD cuz they bought at 50+ out of greed and now cry after mommy to change a promising LTC challenger into a pump and dump DRK wannabe cuz they don't like its current price.

4.) Investor flee because of future uncertainty about VTC.

VTC looked like a LTC killer for a while but now with all those trolls and devs willing to take them seriously it dosen't look like that anymore.

Yup, VTC have been overvalued for long time, so what's ya point? The real problem is that some trolls who bought at maybe 50+ are hellbent on destroying the future of coin by suggesting to devs to change the coin into some other coin in order to protect their ass and get short term profit at the expense of VTC future.

R.I.P Vertcoin wellcome Trollcoin

Lets change algo, lets change block reward, lets change the total number of coins and finally lets change the name --- Trollcoin.
