2 of those 4 years ago have seen gains exceeding BTC. That is realistic and a positive reflection of those discovering safe network in the more recent past.
Those who bought 4 years ago have seen about a 6x gain against USD. Forgive me for not crying them a river!
I get that some folks are still bitter that they bought MAID when they should have bought BTC. But that was then and this is now. The last 2 years of investors have only seen their value go up, even quicker than BTC!
They often say that timing is everything. We all get it wrong from time to time, but we canât let it blinker our perspective of the more recent past and potential in the future.
MAID is doing well, the team are doing an awesome job and clear progress is visible in the test nets. That is realism.
That really depends on when you bought in, I know people that bought in at 60 cents, others when they saw the price surge to 1 dollar and thought the sky is the limit.
The team are doing the best they can with the resources available to them. I am simply saying those resources are clearly limited hence the impact that has.
As I said, timing is everything. I bought some MAID near the top BTC wise too. Do I wish I hadnât? Of course. It doesnât change the reality of the last 2 years or where the price and project is heading now. To do so would be unduly pessimistic, imo.
The team has resource to last many years. Their team is the size the want, to retain focus on what is needed. They have done more with a small team than they did when they were big. Indeed, the scope of what they have achieved is higher than those other teams out there with 10x the cash and resource.
If you are still pessimistic, I suggest you sell up and move on to a project you have more optimism for. Moping about here, when so much exciting progress is being made, makes me wonder if you will ever be happy with this project.
I am holding and will stay holding, if you want to overlook the current weaknesses then okay, ultimately we both hope it succeeds and fingers crossed, that my perspective is wrong. The purpose of me raising these fundamental weaknesses was to get others take on how these will be overcome, at least in their opinion.
Anyone else have experience with changelly? Their Reddit forum is riddled posts from people who lost coins on there, and were never able to get a resolution after a lengthy exchange with support, or only got a portion of their coins back. There really still arenât any good exchanges to trade MAID for a lot of people.
This is going to be an interesting time coming up. The weaker folk think we are then the more surprised they will be when we move and move we will
Never fight a war on somebody elseâs timescale or battlefield, instead do what you must when nobody expects it. Along the way there will be a widespread misunderstanding of capability.
Take a look at how we funded (some may say the ultimate Marketing), private investment, crypto crowdsale, late stage equity via an SPV, loan fund and keep going. Show integrity and have folk actually donating to the cause. If that is a sign of a Marketing weakness then I am really glad we were led by a weak plan and that plan is barely begun. I suspect rather then consider a non existent philosophical business attribute a weakness it may be wise to look and wonder, how did they do that? The consider OMG what will those folk do next, they donât play by the normal rules, they have thrown the Harvard business review out of the window.
Folk have gotta wonder, what next? (I donât wonder that, but I cannot wait to execute )
I have used them 4 times in the past month, highest transaction was ~15k without any issues. I used an @protonmail.com email address AND they did not require KYC!!!
And it wonât continue like that. I expect that once we get the testnet stable for a few weeks, then there will be the time and resources to actively expand the operation to once again include a in-house marketing function as well as other non-engineerering, but still essential/highly desirable functions.
