Right now as we keep reaching all time lows I think it is a mistake to think "how can we go up"
We have a bad economy, bad marketing and bad branding, as you recognize. Trying yo go up is either one of two things
Number 2 is something we have not achieved in 10 years, we won't achieve that soon in our worst economic crisis to date.
Number 1 is immoral, we would need to convince people to buy into a bad investment to go up, that is not solving any problem, that is playing a game of musical chairs and hoping someone else carries our bags.
Because of that what we need to think is how to stop going down and stop making things worse. Somehow we need to show we are stable as a community, show that people stopped leaving and our economic condition stopped getting worse.
Easier said than done but aiming for growth or upside right now is a mistake, that is gambling and gambling is loss. We need to look for stability and avoiding more downsides.
Once we are stable and only then we will be able to build businesses and attract investors without fooling anyone and without gambling.
