I want to remind people Opal never had a "developer",
It had members of the community who stepped up
to take on the challenges of developing the coin.
Has it been easy?
"No, it's never been easy"
Have there been day where you just wanna give-up and just walk away?
"Yes, but I take breaks to make time for the import things in life
and not let the toxicity get to me"
Has it felt that the only thing people want from Opal is money?
"That seems to be the nature of Crypto now."
Haven't you made ton's of money as a developer?
"No, in fact I'd say I've lost more then I've broke even,
services aren't free and someone has to pay for them."
I know this is making it sound shitty to be a Dev and I can tell you personally it is
definitely not all sunshine and rainbows.
So, Why keep developing?
"I believe in this coin, I believe in the community behind it,
We have come up from literally nothing and have
done have more than 99% of the coin out there.
I continue to develop because in the trust-less world of crypto,
I trust myself and those I work with and in so I trust Opal."
Where do you see Opal in the future?
"I think hardware fueled by Opal is a very promising direction,
but my ultimate goal is to get Opal to the moon, literally,
put an Opal node on a rocket and land it on the Moon."
So those are some of my thoughts, feel free to share yours.
If you feel you can contribute to Opal's development, contact me.
The only way we succeed is together.
