Yes, some people didn't swap and were left with XPY. Some were thinking to hold in case the price went up. In my opinion, I didn't see any reason for price to increase and still do not. In fact, i'm surprised XPY is priced as high as it is now.
Some were considering to hold on the basis that less XPY would mean the price would go up. I tried to explain how the reduced coin count did not in any way mean the price would go up. Unfortunately, it is difficult to help without it being considered advice by some. I try to remember to add "in my opinion" each time. It's a conundrum.
This is my problem, fair enough say sell XPY, but by saying buy ION you are encouraging people to jump out of the fat and into the fire. You are in effect shrilling for ION, exactly what you did for XPY.
In fact you shrilled so much for XPY we thought you were being paid by JG. I don't think you were for the record, just incredibly naive. But you seem to be doing the same for ION.
I think you made an assumptive statement like "When the value of ION goes up".
If you don't want to be called a shrill then don't shrill. If you do then you will have egg on your face when ION fails. That is when and not if.
