Have faith everyone. This isn't a shit coin. Not even close. I believe Omahapoker is correct in thinking the niche for this coin is gambling online. I'm not a casino gamer at all, but I know how massively popular it is. We'll be on mintpal soon enough, and I know more gaming sites are in the works. The price is likely down from early miners panic selling. It's not uncommon for early miners to be quite stacked. Take a look at black coin or especially dark coin. Before dark coin had dark send (anonymity), it was interesting, but nothing special. Before the fork that slowed it down a bit, it even surpassed Litecoin. That is fucking amazing.
Tl;Dr, enjoy the low price while it lasts to stock up on some JPC before it secures it's defining characteristic that gave it value. Once the community at large understands a coins purpose, the value shoots way up.
Edit: BTC to USD is up above $620 on coinbase. I suspect a lot of fiat dumping too is effecting every coin more or less. It's just the nature of the business. Those that are shortsighted or simply need the fiat at the moment are cashing out hard. Again, use this to your advantage and buy your favorite coins cheaply
