Things work more slowly in the decentralized, open source world. Just look at how long it took Linux to get to where it is today, for example, but it was worth it, wasn't it? Crypto is the same. It takes a lot more time and patience than the corporate world, but the product is ultimately infinitely better.

In crypto, the foundation is a real, vibrant community. Look at ADA and DGB for other examples to compare with their direct competition who are struggling due to lack of real community. Both have loyal, enthusiastic, organic, grass roots communities - like HIVE - and in the real world where success is dependent on being widely distributed and decentralized, I'd say that's a huge accomplishment to write home about ... even if it has taken years.
