One of the real concerns that we need to face is that with volume being so low (less than 1btc often) NOTE will soon risk being de-listed by the major exchanges unless trading picks up.

This is part of what I was trying to say before. To spur interest in NOTE people need to be able to buy it, and to buy it, it needs to remain on exchanges, which to do so it needs to be traded, which means it must be attractive to investors as a speculative instrument, which to do so means people need to feel like something, anything, is happening to drive the platform forwards.

To keep people interested they need to feel like they can make money. This is a simple statement of fact in crypto.

Without any of this, NOTE is just an idea in Alan's notebook. Like it or not, trading drives interest. Without something concrete and hopeful in the future, trade will shrivel and NOTE will disappear from the exchanges altogether. I know you don't like it, but this is a fact. Something needs to happen to galvanise NEW people into wanting to buy and hold NOTE. The technology and the excitement must go hand in hand with the core mission and economic thesis, you can't just have one or the other. Otherwise it becomes an intellectual pursuit in a vaccum with no supporters pushing real money into the ecosystem.

Please just consider this.
