Well, we got a working blockchain (which in itself beats out most of the top 100), a huge and active community comparatively and some great development coming out. I firmly believe "perceived image" was this blockchains worst enemy. Circle jerks, whale wars, especially the Ned announcement. Take you pick.

If this can somehow be turned around, then we have all the ingredients to be a strong player in the crypto markets. the wheels are turning, it's just the momentum that has to stay consistent. As always, I remain hopeful, buddy. :)
