Pretty much anything in crypto is "bloody speculation without trusted source" - nobody can and should promise you profit to begin with. At least not if one claims to be an utility.

So with your statement anybody using clouds benefits of that, which is an insanely high amount of people nowadays. I'm sure you are one of them, just like me.

And yes, advertisment companies are obviously left out, why should they be included, when advertisment is broken to begin with - that's the whole idea behind that aspect of the protocol, cleaner appearances in the web. Advertisment so far only competes with advertisment on a wider scale, it's not our intention to include them into the protocol in anyway, nor see I a reason to do so (or why one sees a need for it, since he's mentioning it so explicit).

Team is a bunch of nobodies is a pretty hard statement, seeing that some of our Devs have backgrounds from companies like Google, and overall are mostly experienced.
What's a "somebody" then? Was Vitalik a "somebody" before ethereum? CfB "somebody" before iota?


What partnerships are we talking about and what do you mean with "involves various communities"?
Actual partnerships bringing forwards progress similar how IOTA does it? Or just partnerships to have partnerships, since this space seems to be driven on that people/projects just agree on announcing "yeah we work together now", while in reality there's no real value added very often (So p-hub like partnerships?) If you have something particular in mind regarding partnerships I would love to hear them out.

This constant babbling about "partnerships partnerships" in this space is a nuisance to me - it feels often it is just for the news itself, not for the project. It almost seems like people have forgotten what this space was initially about: technology and decentralization in mind - and not some fancy "partnerships" or appealing/attractive figures - Satoshi was anon and nobody cares nowadays, now people scream scam if somebody else is anon.

The following is a general statement: This space is full of moonboys, hard but true - and many of them don't even understand what they are throwing money at - "buy the rumors sell the news" isn't a meme, it's the sad truth - rumors are encouraged, actual progress/news is punished - such a flawed logic - if people would concentrate more on the substance and progress in this space, we would all have less of a hard time and it would be less volatile, while crypto would be taken more serious by the outside, would appeal more people to it. - but I get it, it goes against the "get rich quick" sentiment in crypto.
