I got the same feeling guys! I’ve started buying MAID back in the bull run in 2017. I’ve been majorly disappointed by its performance compared to other alt coins (which I was following but didn’t buy because all I wanted was MAID). This bear market I told myself that next bull market was going to be different, all the signs were there to believe the next bull run was perfectly lined up with a safe network testnet. I’m all-in on MAID again, and thats not changing!

A Safenetwork token on ERC20 requires minimal effort, and that still hasn’t happen. All these dreams of +$0.30 MAID are crazy. We have no liquidity, no demand, no product, no roadmap.
If anyone wants the price to be $51, i’ll sell you 100 at that price.

We have a professional team, an amazing community, a very complex product that’s getting closer and closer to a testnet. We simply do not sell at these prices, we don’t have a mining pool or dev fund dumping consistently, and we don’t spend over $100.000 to get listed on a premium exchange. We’re here for the long run, not the quick cash grab. But I’m 100% confident its going to pay off eventually.

ERC20 is not a quick cash grab, it will be useful even when the network is live, at least to begin with. There is no reason not to swap away this annoying, clumsy, hard to use OMNI coin. Access to uniswap would be amazing, it would show MaidSafe can see the blockchain space is evolving and it would be beneficial to take part.
Creating ERC20 tokens is almost free. Access to uniswap is free.
I have yet to be given a valid reason why still no ERC20.

We do have a dev fund selling, its how dev continues.

This is the most viewed thread, with the most posts. So the community cares about trading their tokens. MaidSafe could do something beneficial with ERC20, but for some reason they won’t.

Just because you don’t agree with the reason doesn’t mean it isn’t a reason. Like I said, we have a very professional team, by far the most professional team in the “altcoin” space. They explained very well why they’re not making the effort for ERC20.

It’s not free and not without risk.
The above plus the team are 100% focussed on launch. I cannot be more clear about this. No product == no project IMO. Our biggest issue is to resolve the no product problem. Even then we don’t have experience of erc20 in house and who do we trust to do that for us? So a lot of if’s buts and maybes do make that a significant barrier for us.
It’s easy to say oh do X Y Z etc. However, anyone one in our team not working for launch is not gonna be in our team long 
We must be driven and determined in that regard.
There are community efforts, and these I applaud and cannot be thankful enough for, but bashing the team is in no one’s interest. So to be clear right now the team don’t do marketing, PR, finance tooling, interviews, attend conferences etc.
After we launch all that changes, but until then, it’s work work work on launch. That’s all.

I didn’t say no I don’t agree with the reason, I have no idea what the reason behind not swapping to ERC20 is.
There is no reason to do something else, only release product after so many years… After that you could start other things

It’s obvious that they get closer everyday but I was hoping the bitcoin run would start a little later. If we follow last cycle, it took 9 months from hitting new highs around $1200 to topping out the parabolic run just below $20,000. It will always be easier to make a big impression both in product and price during a crypto up cycle and that window is closing a little faster than I personally expected. I thought maybe we would see 20k early 2021. Seems as if we may be hitting that before November is done. Hoping for the best and trusting the process.

If the Safe product is successful whenever we release it it will cause a new Bull Run

Can’t wait for the network with token +farming +decentralised +…
A price boost for MAID would probably help the team too

Yeah, I know what you mean. I wasn’t expecting to cross $20K until Jan/Feb of 2021. It will be very telling to see how/whether MaidSafe leverages the current environment b/c…
…in terms of funding, awareness, and engagement.
At times it does feel like staring into darkness, hoping that at anytime now the light is about to flicker on. Let’s see if and hope that dawn approaches sometime soon.

I hope you are righ
The last ATH for btc was until early Dec. i think it will do the same and in Jan start to dip. Am not sure why everyone thinks Jan / Feb will be higher and a few even think end of next year will be 300k 
Keep in mind the last ATH for Bitcoin was December 2017 - the year following the 2016 halving event. That implies the next price surge could peak at the end of next year, 2021 - once again, the year following this year’s halving event.

Because we’re looking at historical multi-year cycles between halvenings (e.g. BTC hit an ATH just above $1K in the late fall of 2013, didn’t see a price above $1K till early 2017, and then saw a series of new ATH through 2017 before topping out at about $20K in Dec 2017).
While past performance isn’t always an indicator of future returns, essentially this:
