You should talk to people who are interested in the technology and its use - and who follow its actual progress - and not just a few greedy speculators out to make a quick buck.
So far maidsafe has done better than most other scamcoins (I mean altcoins) in regards to price stability and appreciation. The Maidsafe team is also by far the best communicators and no other project comes close. I think eventually the project will succeed, maybe this year, next year, or in a few more years. It will happen very soon either way. I am a holder since ICO and my coins are not for sale.
