Just to avoid misconceptions here: I don't say the team hyped. They made and make thoughtful marketing and that is needed and not just for the price. It is needed to get the attention of App-Dev's.

But there was a lot of hype in the community, a lot of very high hopes for short term - all the pics of lambos and screaming "moon" etc.

And it's not correct to reduce Lisk on that (marketing and hype). Like I've said: They do a lot of base-work that the majority doesn't recognize yet. But I'm sure that it will pay out. If you believe this is just about hype you should sell if you hold Lisk.

No, don't hold back, you can say it. Everyone hyped it as the next Eth, Max didn't bother with addressing any misconceptions about it, because why not, more money for them.
But now the hype is dying out, and we're facing the hard truth, that there's not much in Lisk.
I'll probably try putting some dev time in it, in hopes I give it a little push with my engineering expertise, but I can't promise anything.

I'll put some apps out, and let's see what happens.

I agree. It's time to bring some apps to the table. If there is a lesson to be learnt, it's if you are going to hype, at least make sure there is something tangible to back it up down the line, not mere promises of things to come in the future.

On price, I agree that a price snapshot is not something to be too worried about - that is unless you have forked out a tidy sum investing in LISK and then seen the value of that investment dissolve into virtually nothing.

LISK has some stiff competition from other coins. Ethereum is the obvious one. There is also Nxt. Ethereum I believe has been built 90% on hype and 10% innovation. If ever there was an Emperor's new clothes in the altcoin world it is Ethereum. Nxt is back up and coming, but again there are no apps in place. Come 12th October, if not imminently, I believe there will have been a massive dumping of Nxt. It's anyone's guess as to what happens then.

LISK has an opportunity to seize the market if the essential pieces can be put in place quickly and convincingly. I don't see much evidence of that happening soon. So less of the hype and wishful thinking that has happened in the last 1,500+ pages. Max, it's time to bring home the bacon.
