Well, EOS would have exploded already if it wasn't just five people owning any - just look at the low volume compared to a month ago.
Let's face it, people here are either in Bitcoin, Steeem, BTS or something else... but only ONE thing else, and these are the favorites.
By chance I remembered and looked at ICN today (Iconomi) and it has gone straight up by 100% but not even @haejin has so far noticed it even exists. Just an example, wasted.
So, there's just the five people trying to push EOS upwards, and that takes time.
We're right now trying to break the $11 resistance, it's a sure thing - and I guess we'll be done around Easter if we keep going at this pace ;))
