I don't think this is it. It's harder to make big splashy releases when you have 20k+ lines of code to maintain than when you have <1000. Stuff like reactions used to be a huge deal and get lots of attention. Now, when you do something like release private encrypted groups (100x harder) people hardly notice.

I don't say this with any kind of annoyance, I'm very happy to continue to grind with little to no recognition. Hype is fun, but it's not what any of us came here for.

Only one way to find out I suppose. Wait a bit longer and see who sticks around.

I've seen this thousands of times though. Literally. New project, high energy, hype hype hype... then the slow agonizing grind and eventual death. Not saying the death part will apply here, because some people have funding and bitcoiners are generally built different (long time preference), but in the rest of builder space this is what happens. Like I said, this is all natural because people generally don't have good ideas and build something nobody wants. If everyone succeeded, we'd have thousands of new businesses ever year.

I've experienced this myself dozens of times, I'm sure it's a factor for many folks. But having such a big mission in play isn't something that I've experienced before.

Yeah we have way more passion in the space.
