HERP-DERP, so what if they did?! How much funds do they have? I really doubt they have as much money as LISK. Money means development, marketing and reaching their goals... lisk dev team right now is 16 people soon to be 20. This a huge team look at github and how many commits there are.

Lets look at Rise...and Lisk.

1. You google Lisk in google>boom lisk main page(all info you need). You google Rise> Katty Perry Rise, okay Rise coin> second link is bitcoin talk.... hmm lets check their...nope no site page... finally after 15 min I find https://rise.vision/ which is not even working. Great presentation...
2. Let me login in my wallet to check my lisk coins>stat up lisk nano you are done. Rise has no wallet to speak off.
3. Back to the dev team: 16 people working 8 hours a day are 128 a day work for lisk. I check at Rise...well on the bitcointalk page we have 3 people no idea how many people are developing...github seems slower than lisk. Lisk clocks more than 45k development hours a year with 16 people.. with 20 peopele this is 56k hours.
4. HECK RISE does not even have a ROADMAP
4. You only point is that Rise has delegates the same that Lisk has. These guys are doing a business they don't really care what will happen.

I have been holding LISK since its ICO. Got around 2200 lisk. Maybe not much for some but a fair amount in my opinion.

Since then a lot has happened. At one point i have forgotten about lisk because the price was moving forever down and down. I always knew on the back of my mind that i had these coins and i maybe x2 my ICO investment.

One morning i woke up and my Lisk was worth 4.5$ a coin, almost 10 000$.
Almost a a month later and Lisk is 2.5$ and losing ground and its not just that BTC has gone down. Lisk has been going down in regards to BTC too.

I am a Lisk supporter for sure and i believe that the coin has potential that project has potential. There are many other projects that are promising what lisk promised once and some more.
When Lisk was still in ICO stage there was other coins in ICO stages too such example is Waves... i am not gonna be a shill for it but it currently cost 4$, people on boards such as /biz/ are using it to make coins/trade and what not. While Lisk well  nothing much as changed, developers may say that is not true we did X and Y and even Z (and thats great) but I as common user can't use it for anything besides speculation on bittrex/poloniex.

And if in Lisk noting happened for a year or two, plenty happened in cryptoworld. Plenty of lisk competitors are being developed and lets be honest here time matters, if i come up with SACK coin that is a copy of ETH no one is gonna bother with my coin.

There is no buzz around LISK. I will be honest i frequent 4chan/biz/ and other lets say fast moving media of information. Lisk is forgotten, there is ARK, WAVES, UBIQ topics and discussions. IF Lisk does appear or if i post a topic about it, it gets a response or two maximum 5.

Even this place seams dead at time nothing but delegate spam.

Then there the ton of traveling on conferences, cool PR is awesome the Lisk idea is also awesome, Java script, multiple chains. I am in love with the online wallet. But its getting old now, in my opinion investors need something else besides promises of the technology.

I am aware of the soon coming re branding and SDK release by Q4.

Lisk has my support but that support is being chipped away. I plan to hold until Q1 Q2 2018 and if still the same i am out....

By the time i wrote this around 30 minutes max the price has fallen by 0.14$.
