It's ironic that some of the most valuable or oversold projects have absolutely no technical merit or progress towards the stated goals prior to developing enormous hype and a cult following that vigorously defends the product. For Cardano, we've basically embraced anti-hype. We just stick to the magic and let the community do the rest.
Indeed, most of people especially the new ones are primarily in it for the money. They don't care about the technical merits and innovation happening, They only care if it will pump or not on their expected time. It's sad.
