lol, the honour is all yours captain. I'm just a dude from the north who spends to much time in front of a computer that sometimes has ideas and codes them into something that has the potential to work towards solving issues or what have you.

Your touching on adoption is the primary driving factor behind development.
That, and I believe this community deserves better than what it's had in the past.

While blockchain still very much being regarded as a disruptive emergent technology, with it's new found popularity and dip into what I consider the beginning of mass adoption quickly resulting in the "over saturating of the market" with choices and functions users must pick between, compelling use cases / services / fintech / games are effectively the only means of making a network such as ours attractive to outside capital investment and increase user onboarding and retention.

you can have the best tech in the world.. But if there isn't much reason for others to buy it out of their own internal demand to utilize the benefits it provides... eh.
