there are people who are DDOS ethereum and the EOS website hoping for people to be scared away from the sale, "don't play their game" is my moto.
Timing the crypto market is a fool's errand for me, at this point in time, I do what I can to get EOS token with my means and the knowledge of the moment while keeping in my the wise words of Tyler Durden.
Stay strong mate. This storm will pass too. Stick with the things you've given thought to.
Why would they do that? To get a bigger amount of EOS tokens or because of something I currently still can't get.
