I think developers and project teams should start thinking of having bitcointalk accounts because by doing so this will make them know things better and they will be able to learn from others ,their mistakes ,their complains etc
Some devs have better idea of how to make a project works and make it a successful one but they end up listing their tokens or coins on bad exchanges.
Some devs don't know what's on peoples mind and what we need from them to do for us ,for example I can't buy and hold some coins simply because they have no plan of building a mobile wallet and I don't do PC or laptops ,im always mobile and so are many investors out there. I've seen few people saying they will only invest in a coin that has a mobile wallet ,carry on the go is always the best.
People equals to adoption and more adoption, if devs are very shady and non straight up with people they end up losing better chance of adoption rate ,yes someone like me don't like teams that aren't fair with investors ,theyve forgotten that people or investors are the power of all coins and tokens ,without us no way.
Why I said devs and teams should be present always on btt forum is mainly to listen to other thoughts ,for example many exchanges arent what many thinks they are and I've seen good projects that became a victim of such exchanges and while that is spread on this forum they will be aware and list the exchange as red flag on their lists.
Every thing I've learned so far is from this forum and I'm glad I'm a part of this wonderful haven
Basically, the dev must try to see what they has already needed by the community and they must make their development becomes flexible that based on the demand.
But so many developers only follow what they have already created on the roadmap without care about what is being a trend right now.
