I rather have a few months sideways will the infrastructure is being build, than hype to boost the price briefly only to have the FUD return the moment the price starts collapsing again.
Price can only grow when stuff gets delivered, and this takes time.
Delivering is the key here, thanks for pointing this out. The developers are preparing the ground work (specifically to the Lisk core) to code a reliable, secure and scalable version of blockchain applications running on sidechains. The time and effort it takes to create this system is quite a bit as the applied cryptography for the blockchain is complicated.
For new users, the best way to get correct information on development updates and progress is through the
Lisk Blog.
Alternatively, you can always go directly to the open sourced project and take a look at the
GitHub releases
