You forget that often the [founder] is the same person as the product developer, and because of his narrow specialization, it is difficult for him to delegate authority. Therefore, it is foolish to assume that the fate of the project is in the hands of the community. Yes, we all see that the CEO does not give empty promises, so I hope that soon we will see the expansion of liquidity as it was said. As for the bullish trend, I meant that most of the coins with serious infrastructure made a breakthrough of 500% or more this year, (for this reason, I do not consider the rise of Obyte from $20 to $40 as a bullish trend).
Not exactly true, there are many developers who are working or have worked on Obyte and different tasks are delegated to different people
https://obyte.org/#teamThe fate of this project is in the hands of the community, it's kind of weird to read that it could be anything else. Without the community, it's just bunch of code.
There is limited amount of reach that Obyte Foundation can ever get, no matter how much money it would waste on marketing, so it very much depends on the community to use Obyte and promote Obyte.
Most older coins have barely reached their previous ATH, Obyte has not because it went very high at then dropped a lot, so those 500% gains are mostly from new DeFi and NFT garbage, which some of them won't even exist in 2 years.
Well, 500% for Gbyte seems to be unrealistic. The project lost traction ~ 3 years ago and over these years there have been many other projects that have taken up the niches that Obyte could have. Now it’s playing the catching-up role rather then leading one. BTW, if you wanna get link to Discord ask tarmo888, he will invite you.
500% is a pretty real figure if you know what to do. A good exchange, paired with a few marketing activities and you should be fine,
(for example, prizes for trading volumes or a thoughtful drop under the auspices of the exchange). I recently looked at the list of coins listed on Binance, and I can say that Obyte looks pretty good against the background of most of them. Btway, if you look at these criteria
[Binance Listing Tips], you will understand what I mean when I say that Obyte is pretty good.
500% for GBYTE is very real goal even without any new exchanges. 500% gain would only be $230, which at current liquidity could be reached with just FOMOing in with 10 BTC. Only 17 BTC would clear out the whole sell side on Bittrex and take GBYTE price over $500. More exchanges would most likely dilute the liquidity on existing exchanges at this point.
Prizes for trading volumes on the other hand, doesn't help liquidity much, that's just wash trading. Obyte already has Trading Rewards
