The problem is that (and this is my personal opinion), that the team does not give a damn about their community.
The sentiment is always:
1. "The team doesn't owe you anything"
2. "If you want movement, do something about it yourself"
3. etc. etc. etc.
If this were the case, why did they take money from the community to build their product? They need to stop JUST focusing on the devs in this space, and also dedicate some attention to appeasing their community, otherwise I genuinely think the chain will fade to irrelevance. Dev's can build, but community, hype and price appreciation is also golden in this space. Hype and price appreciation brings attention, attention brings more devs and money, and then that spirals into mass adoption.
The 2nd problem is that they hyped everything up themselves, and now that nothing super significant has materialised post mainnet, the narrative has now shifted to "we didn't promise anything" and "what company would build on nascent technology". This is categorically a lie, I have been in the discord and community for 3+ years now and can remember either Marjorie or Fabian saying they have many partnerships that will be revealed post mainnet, with the specific wording "of which we have many"...
I've found that the project has too much of a holier than thou attitude to be honest, comparing itself with Bitcoin and Ethereum, when it has done nothing to merit that. The comparison is always that Bitcoin or Ethereum did not need marketing, but that was a different time. That was when the market was not flooded by 100+ different L1's and L2's.
I know there will probably be a mountain of people from the community that will attack this post now, so they can feel free to do that. But just remember that that is also part of the problem. And this is coming from someone who had 10,000+ LUKSO at one point, and with a LUKSO branded DappNode, so I think I've definitely invested my time, money and attention to give my 2 cents.
