The fundamentals haven’t changed and the team has been non-stop delivering.

The devs cannot control the price. Sure marketing will help (all in good time), but exactly as you pointed out the market (who decides price) does not value the fundamentals… yet. They value rugpull L2s that launch with no testnet just yesterday 🤣…

And that’s fine. Some even argue that after PoS ethereum has STILL not been accurately valued for what the tech stack can now provide. And that’s the second largest protocol!

Try to use a dapp these days. Many protocols are even geo-blocking the US with the likes of Iran, N Korea, and Cuba! Have to use VPNs in “the most developed country in the world”.. Do you think it is time for the actual value to be properly assessed and built into the price. I don’t. Not yet

But what I do see is a non-stop shipping team of devs, and a strong community (particularly in our discord, which you should consider joining) as you’ve pointed out. That is diverse, global and not common. Also consider how we have these things without the double edged sword of big VC money (and a basically fully circulated token)

To me, that’s all I need to hodl for a long time. I’m not a mod because I just want to ban people… I love being here, I love the tech, and I love the amazing humans I get to interact with every day and see what cool stuff they build.

BUT my time horizon is not common. I will never convert crypto back to fiat, in fact I don’t plan to sell anything until I can go to a grocery store in NYC and pay with ETH. With that view, I’m able to maintain my zen and remove the association of “price go up” with “is this a successful team/tech”
