Dave, you're a stalwart of the community and I respect you for giving it to me straight & not pulling any punches. :-)
A couple things here:
I don't want a major exchange listing because I want exit liquidity. I live in a place where Binance isn't even allowed; I couldn't pass KYC on it if I wanted to. My SPS is going to remain safely staked and in liquidity pools for years to come. I suspect most big whales are diamond hands at this point, and I have faith they will not take advantage in that way. If any do sell out, well, better to flush them out sooner rather than later anyway.
We need to focus on the investment side of the game just as much as the game side of the game. There's nothing inherently wrong with that. The game should offer a little something for everyone. Gamers should have a fun, engaging, solid game to play. But an investment mindset is also welcome. People can stake tokens, rent out their SPS, earn passively from Land, etc. We've got the best of both worlds, and getting on a top tier exchange is a natural extension of that.
I don't expect to convince you though. You just go on being you, Dave, we're lucky to have you!
