Just wanted to post some comments over from the Facebook community.
I think the long term winners are going to be the ones that integrate themselves into pre-existing systems outside of crypto. Without giving anything away, I think HZ is ahead of a lot of other projects on that frontier, and the fruits of labor will become visible in due time. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, crypto moves fast, and if people don't see development or deals being made in a few days or a week, they lose interest. Unfortunately for the people looking for quick 5x gains, I believe those days are coming to an end. (Or already have) People are beginning to realize the potential of blockchain technology, so a new block explorer doesn't cause a parabolic rise anymore.
It wasn't all that long ago that you would see pumps based on a sparkly block explorer, or flashy wallet with 0 features and just some new skins. Personally, I'm thank full for this. That means that progress is being made...
Will you be seeing more social media / news site & blog coverage for Horizon? The answer is yes.
When we first started on Horizon, we had no intentions of announcing anything until it was ready, and we were to ninja launch everything. One of the former developers, SilverNXT had that memorable dump and we needed to reassure the community that the project wasn't dead, it was in fact more alive then ever. It was some shady guy with no vision or care who dumped and forced us to announce things well before we had planned.
Such is life and things often don't go according to plan. You must be able to think on your toes and adapt quickly.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/NHZOfficial/?fref=nfMajor announcements and releases are right around the corner, and our media campaign will be kicking into gear to match. It's been an interesting couple of months, but I'm happy to report that everything has been moving forward terrifically. The entire Horizon team is both excited and anxious to share what we have been working on. Everyone in the Horizon community has a voice and your thoughts, concerns and comments help shape development. At this time we are looking for individuals who would like to take an active roll in the Horizon think tank, which is meant to be a place for involved community members to give their insight and opinions on certain issues that are relevant to Horizon's future. If you think you are someone that would fit the bill, then please send me a a PM and we will forward the Slack details.
Thanks in advanced,
Nick Cote
Horizon Managing Director
