Hi again. I'm glad you like checking my status on BTT. I'm actually writing code instead of posting nonsense here.

Press releases used to be frequent but are almost never done anymore.

There were a few recently, but this is admittedly a slow period. Not sure what you want the press releases to say. Catapult is still being developed and progress is being made. Sending out a press release every few weeks saying "developers wrote more code" seems pointless imo.

In the distance, the only thing I'm seeing right now is a half-lit candle with Project Catapult. I'm skeptical because there's many projects with fast TPS and Catapult doesn't do anything new in that regard. People in crypto don't really care about security or other things, either.

I view the strategy as one of building a platform that people outside the BTT community will want to use, attract interest, and foster an ecosystem.

So the only thing left is maybe ninja news but speculators can't really wait on "news that might happen", especially when everything else is going up 10% a day.

You're right that a lot of the people who hold NEM are speculators, but NEM was never intended to be a short-term play ...
