Wow I just spent an hour writing up a post and lost it cause my login timed out - uugh.
Lets just go over a couple important points!!
We are founding an institution here. A place where real work and collaboration can take place with a great awareness of the manipulation intended to derail Bitcoin and associated altcoin projects. We don't have to speculate here. The central banks could lose the power over our world granted by full control of our currencies. They pull the real strings in a web far greater than basic sovereign governments. The capital influence alone required to disenfranchise get rich quick investors is pocket change to them. We are playing a different game, it will take time to attract interest. The interest gathered through projects like CryptoTown will put CGB in the hands of investors who really understand what is happening here, and who will be willing to stick it out through the tough times.
Mark (IMZ) has expressed his intent to continue work with our community to advance the adoption of crypto. There are no expectations here, and we should accept that efforts may come as time and motivation becomes available. On that note, if anyone is waiting for direction, stop. Get creative - there is work to do in every facet of our projects.
It seems that the overall crypto sector is in a depression. So long as we are looking great by the time it all starts picking up again, I think we will easily shrug this off. As the CryptoTown project picks up and our client release brings a fresh wind to the sails, we will be in a strong and unique position. Let's not kid ourselves though, without self-directed participation (we provide so many opportunities and resources), the work will not be done, and awareness will not be realized.
One final insight I can provide here draws from my experience in the precious metals markets. I won't go into great detail here, but I have given up hope on the price of precious metals taking off to their next new highs before a major economic crisis happens. The reason for this is that they are being suppressed in part to mask the rotting decay of the USD as a reserve currency. A rise in gold will only happen once insider hope is lost and they jump ship to the next system. When this happens, not only will gold skyrocket, but crypto may be a large recipient of this fleeing capital. If CGB is in tip top shape and at a ridiculously low prices, it will be primed for some potentially extreme price action.
The post I had written up was much better than this, but I need to get back to relaxin
